JOHNSTON: FLORA OF MARGARITA ISLAND. 165 



Loefling (1776). He sailed from Cadiz, February 15, 1754, for Cu- 

 mana where he spent six months. Then he journeyed to New Bar- 

 celona, the missions of Piritu, and the river Guyana, where he stayed 

 three months. Thence he traveled to the missions on the Curoni and 

 returned to Cumana. In the description of his travels are noted 

 thirty-four plants occurring about Cumana. 



In the years from 1807 to 1825 were published various works by 

 Humboldt, Bonpland ('14-'29; '14; '08) and Kunth ('l5-'25) describ- 

 ing the travels of the first two and then giving notes on their observa- 

 tions. Their list of plants, collected for the most part about Cumana 

 and along the Rio Negro and Cassiquiari Rivers, comprises some 1200 

 numbers. !Most of these are now in the herbarium of the IMuseum 

 of natural history at Paris. 



Funck and Linden landed at La Guaira in 1840. Linden went 

 to Peru while Funck went toward the Orinoco, visiting Cumana, 

 Guana-Guana, San Augustin where he made a rich collection, the 

 Grotto de Guacharos, Caripe and its mountains. In 1842 and 1845 

 he visited Santa Marta, San Sebastian, and Galipan, and thence went 

 to Cura^oa and to the region of the Silla de Caracas. His plants 

 are in the Delessert herbarium at Geneva. There is no published 

 list of them. Linden arrived at Caracas in January, 1842, and in 

 May of the same year sent plants to Delessert. This collection 

 (235 species) contained plants from the Silla de Caracas and the 

 Cerro de Avila. In May, 1842, he left Caracas for the Andes of 

 Merida. In January, 1843, he sent from Merida to the consul of 

 France at Maracaibo plants collected in the high Andes of Truxillo 

 and Merida. Linden's plants of Colombia, which may include his 

 Venezuelan ones, are at the following places: University of Ghent, 

 herbarium de Candolle (2066 species), herbarium of the University 

 at Leipzig, and the herbarium of the Royal museum at Vienna. 



There are plants of Funck collected at Caracas at the herbarium 

 of the Academy of sciences at St. Petersburg (819 species). 



Plants of Funck and Schlim (Reich enbach, '54b) collected in 

 tropical America are in the herbariums of the universities of Ghent 

 and Leipzig as well as in the Delessert herbarium. 



Plants collected by jNIoritz (see Hampe '47a, '47b) are in the British 

 museum, at the Royal botanical gardens in Berlin, in the herbarium 

 of the Imperial botanical garden of St. Petersburg, and in that of 

 the Imperial academy of St. Petersburg, of the Royal museum at 

 Vienna, and of the University at Leipzig.
