Off SCIENTIFIC AND ENGLISH NAMES. 



** 'Die vowels marked, are those upon which emphasis is to be placed in pro- 

 pouncing the names. When the short accent (') is used, the vowel is to be sounded 

 in conjunction with the following consonant. When the long accent (') is used, lha 

 vowel is to have an open sound as though standing alone. Non-classical readers 

 are reminded that every vowel represents a syllable in Latin or Latinized words : 

 thus aeptentrionale is not spoken sep-ten-tri-o-nale, but sep-ten-tri-o-na-le ; and 

 polypodioides is not po-iy-po-di-oides, but po-ly-po-di-o-i-des.
