BIBLIOGRAPHY OF SOUTH-AFRICAN ORCHIDS. 95 
preserved with others (all being attributed to Masson) in the Natural 
History Department of the British Museum. No name is attached 
to the papers above enumerated, and only one new species is 
described, viz., Disa graminifolia, also without a name. Lindley 
(Gen. and Sp. Orch. 363) attributes this name to Ker, and, as he was 
a contemporary of Ker, and the latter published other botanical 
papers in the same Journal, no doubt the authorship may safely be 
attributed to him. The plates, though a little rough (being 
amongst the early attempts at lithography in England), and with- 
out analyses, are excellent pictures of the plants. They include 
the following :—

Of Three Species of the Natural Order Orchidew, from the 
Journal of Science and the Arts. London, 1817. 4to, pp. 1-8, 
plate.—This is a separate reprint of the first of the series of articles 
entered above under the name of the above Journal. The plate is 
a reproduction of the octavo form, although entirely re-drawn. As 
to the ascription of these papers to Ker, see the article referred to; 
the probability is strengthened by the fact of the initials I. B. K. 
being engraved at the foot of this 4to plate. It is curious that, 
though this professes to be a reprint, it is dated 1817, while the 
vol. iv. of the Journal of Science in which it appeared is dated 1818. 
Pritzel in his first edition ascribed this paper to R. Brown, but in 
the subsequent edition it appears to be entirely withdrawn.
