In the manuscript volume by John Miers, already referred to, is 
the following list of the vernacular names of nearly 200 specimens, 
illustrating about 140 woods sent from Venezuela to the Exhibition 
of 1862, to most of which scientific names have been added. It is 
much to be wished that this volume should be published in its 
entirety. The first 82 have specific gravities appended, the list 
being printed as it stands in the original manuscript.
