NOTE RESPECTING BURMANN’S HERBARIUM. 
Since the greater part of these sheets have passed through the 
press, I have seen at Geneva, by the courtesy of Herr Joh. Miller, 
the Curator, the herbarium of the Burmanns, father and son, of 
Amsterdam, and to which reference has already been made on page 
186. It contained about twenty Cape Orchids, mostly in an excellent 
state of preservation, although the notes upon two of the sheets 
shews them to be nearly 200 years old. These were probably collected 
by Oldenland. Amongst them I identified the following :— 
Bartholina pectinata. 
Holothriz squamulosa, H. parvifolia. 
Satyrium coriifolium, S. bicorne, S. bracteatum, S. bicallosum. 
Disa patens (marked ‘coll. 28 Sept., 1695”), D. melaleuca, D. 
atricapilla. 
Pterygodium catholicum, P. cruciferum (marked ‘coll. 8 Oct. 
1695).”’
