INDEX TO CURTIS'S ' FLORA LONDINENSIS ' 1775-98 155 



tions on the title-pages of the Hookerian volumes run thus : " The 

 descriptions by William Jackson Hooker," and not as cited above. 



The fine copies at Kew and the Botanical Department, British 

 Museum, Cromwell Eoad, have been specially arranged, the former 

 as regards vol. iv in the order of De Candolle's edition of Lamarck's 

 Flore Francaise, and vol. v. in the sequence of Hooker's Flora 

 Scotica ; the latter in the Candollean sequence from Eanunculaceae 

 to Fungi. The copy in the Linnean Society's library has the 

 original Curtisian issue only, the six fasciculi being placed by the 

 binder according to the scheme in the Linnean order at the end of 

 each fasciculus, and the number printed there, copied on the back 

 of each plate by Smith himself. The Hookerian portion has been 

 arranged, as far as possible, in the order of issue ; plates 1-43 

 inclusive were not numbered, but the accompanying leaves of 

 text had small numbers at the foot of the text, and these have 

 served for arranging the plates from 1-43 ; from 43 [bis] onwards, 

 the plates were numbered, and the numbers on the text have been 

 disregarded, as they hopelessly differed in the majority of cases 

 from the plates they explained ; thus out of the entire 216 plates, 

 the text was wrong in 146 cases out of 174 which can be collated — 

 nearly seven out of eight. Besides this the following 8 numbers 

 are wanting: 34, 47, 73, 108, 118, 169, 173, 179; but equahsing 

 these, we find the following 8 employed in duplicate : 43, 44, 

 70, 105, 120, 159, 171, and 176. The total number of plates 

 I make out to be 650 ; six fasciculi of 72 plates, and 2 extra 

 plates, amount to 434, and 216 in the Hookerian volumes. 

 Pritzel's figures in his Tliesaurus (702) and Index Iconum (645) 

 are at variance with each other and the figures cited above. 



The dates on the title-pages of the second edition run thus : 

 Vol. i, 1817 ; Vol. ii, 1821 ; Vol. iii, 1826 ; 

 Vol. iv, pt. I, 1819 ; — pt. II, 1821 ; Vol. v ,1828. 



A reissue of the complete work was made by Mr. H. G. Bohn 

 in 1835, which differed only by the imprint and date on the title- 

 pages. 



I have shown the plates in the two later volumes by prefixing 

 the initial H. Eoman and Arabic figures point to the first six 

 fasciculi, and names in small capitals represent modern synonyms 

 of the names on the original plates. Some of the names altered in 

 the second edition are thus accounted for, and a few remaining 

 are quoted through Pritzel's Index Iconum, e. g. Moenchia glauca, 

 when the name on the original plate is Sagina erecta.
