  As 
  Mr. 
  K. 
  Adkin 
  has 
  pointed 
  out 
  to 
  nie 
  this 
  reference 
  of 
  Linne 
  is 
  not 
  

   correct. 
  Hence 
  prol)abiy 
  his 
  (Linne's) 
  query. 
  Albin's 
  work 
  was 
  not 
  in 
  his 
  Hbrary, 
  

   and 
  he 
  no 
  doubt 
  accepted 
  the 
  reference 
  without 
  personal 
  verification.
