Mr. Brown, on the Proteacea ofJussieu. I69 



the masterly subdivision of the same genus previously given 

 by Linneus in the Mantissa, whose sections, though ap- 

 parently depending on single characters, are evidently 

 formed from a contemplation of the whole structure, as far as 

 it was then understood ; and it is remarkable that, with the 

 exception of the first species, with whose real structure he 

 was necessarily unacquainted, the rest are arranged, and even 

 divided into sections, in most cases corresponding with the 

 genera proposed in the present essay.
