Appendix. 293 



No. 41. 



The following are translations from Vol. II. of the " Herb. 

 Amboyn." of Rumphius. They are chapters on the various 

 kinds of citrus he found in the Malayan archipelago, about 

 200 years ago. I have also translated the Title-page, to 

 show that the work was edited by John Burmann, which may 

 account for some mistakes in the numbers of the plates, and 

 for a few apparent contradictions, and probably typographi- 

 cal errors. Rumphius appears to have been very careful in 

 his descriptions. 



Title-page. 



The Amboinese Herbarium of George Everhard Rum- 

 phius, M.D. Hanavensis, senior merchant, and Consul in 

 Amboyna, celebrated by the name of the Indian Pliny (Plinii 

 Indici;, and member of the illustrious Society of the 

 Academy of Natural Curiosities of Germany. It includes 

 many trees, shrubs, herbs, terrestrial and aquatic plants, which 

 are to be found in Amboyna and the adjacent islands, accu- 

 rately described, according to their forms, with their different 

 names, culture, uses, and virtues. Lt moreover gives various 

 kinds of insects and animals, many of them depicted with 

 their natural conformation, all collected for many years with 

 great pains and study, and made into twelve books, now for 

 the first time, published in the Latin language, under the 

 care and zealous editorship of John Burmann, M.D., and 

 Professor of Botany in the Garden of Medicine of Amster- 

 dam, and associate of the Caesarean Academy of Natural 

 Curiosities. The editor has added synonyms and observa- 

 tions of his own.
