[The dates attributed to Scudder are taken from his published works; 

 Kirby is assumed to accept these, for he writes " those assigned by Scudder 

 are apparently fairly correct." Staudinger and Snellen make no replies : 

 of the 9 members who gave their opinions as to the date of the 

 Verzeichniss 7 are agreed that it was published in parts and Meyrick does 

 not appear to disagree ; on the other hand Hampson stands alone in 

 considering the whole work to have been published in book form in 

 1826—7.] 



7 + 1 — I 

 Result """- ; majority in favour of considermg the Verzeichniss a 



work issued in parts. Durrani.
