are made : — Mimiartia hiapanica is M. dichotovia, and two species 

 are added, M. cai)ipestrln and iV. )iumtana. The genus (hierezia is 

 changed into Quena.'" 



"Pp. 259, 2G0, like pp. 89, 90, were cancelled. In the pages 

 which replaced them the following changes are made : — Between 

 (.'/ufrojihi/lhiiii and Sescli the genus Lnperatoria is introduced. The 

 only species given is I. Ostnttfiium. And on p. 260 Scseli elatms is 

 omitted." 



[The view on which Herr von Flatt lays stress — that it was 

 while printing sheet R that Linnaeus introduced his amended leaf, 

 pp. 89, 90 — is, I am sure, quite erroneous. No printer would dream 

 of mutilating a sheet by putting in a cancel. If the volume be 

 referred to, the two leaves spoken of by Mr. Carruthers will be 

 found to be more heavily inked, showing that they formed no part 

 of any ordinary sheet, but were printed solely by themselves for 

 substitution. In Herr von Flatt's copy the binder has made a sad 

 bungle, which need not be set out in detail here ; if he will look at 

 his copy again, he will probably see the pasted portion is visible on 

 p. 259, though not on p. 270, hence his mistake in assuming that the 

 corrected page formed an integral part of the sheet. — B. D. J.]
