NOTE BY THE COMMITTEE OF PUBLICATION. 



Since the return of Mr. De Schweinitz to his native 

 country, the Committee of Publication have been favoured 

 with the following note from that gentleman, which they deem 

 it proper should accompany the Monograph. 



" The Monograph of the Carices, in its present shape, differs so es- 

 sentially from the unfinished materials, which, on my departure for 

 Europe, I confided to my friend Dr. Torrey, with a request to make such 

 use of them as he deemed proper, that it would be an act of injustice to 

 that gentleman to consider him simply in the light of an editor. The judi- 

 cious and elaborate amendments he has proposed, and the mass of new and 

 valuable matter he has added, entitle him to a participation in the author- 

 ship of the work. I am anxious, therefore, that the Monograph should be 

 considered and quoted in all respects, as the joint production of Dr. 

 Torrey and myself."
