ERRATA. 



"In the original plan of the work, it was intended 

 that Chinese characters shonld be foUoived by the Ro- 

 manization in parentheses. In some instances, in the 

 early pages of the book, this order has been inadvertenth^ 

 reversed, the Romanization standing first, followed by the 

 Chinese characters in parentheses. This is especially 

 trne in the articles on Aconitum and Acorns. The 

 names of the natural orders should appear in Roman 

 letters ; a few are in Italics. When used adjectivally, 

 these should 7iot begin with a capital letter." 



The above is from Dr. Stuart's own pen. Would 

 that he could have completed these Hrrata that the}^ 

 might have been more perfectly' done. 



A table of errors, excepting the ones mentioned here, 

 is placed in the back of the book following the indexing. 



Both wprds'of Customs Lists ; the first word in botan- 

 ical names of more than one word ; the first word in the 

 Romanization of Chinese terms, and the word Appendix 

 should always begin with capital letters. 



A few other mistakes in the use or nonuse of capitals 

 will be noticed. Szechuen should be Szechuan. Caret e 

 should alwa3's be found in Li Shih Chen. Parentheses 

 marks and punctuation marks are not invariably.' correct.
