HISTORY OF BOTANV. f^33 



lier, 1805, octavo.) ' The Fuci have lately been more cor- 

 rectly classed by J. B. F. Lamouroux, professor at Caen, 

 (Ann. (le Mus. xx. p. 21, IIG, 267.) ; by Job. Stackhouse, 

 (Nereis Brittanica, ed. ii. Oxford 181G, folio; by Charles 

 Agardh, (Synopsis Algarum Scandinaviae, London 1817, oc- 

 tavo) ; and by H. Christ. Lyngbye, (Tentamen Hydrophy- 

 tologia* Danica.', Copenhagen 1819, quarto, with 70 co])- 

 perplates.) Dawson Turner published valuable plates of 

 ihe known species, (Fuci, or coloured figures and descrip- 

 tions of the plants referred by botanists to the genus Fucus, 

 vol. i.— iv. London 1807—1811.) 



George Francis Hoffman, professor at Gottingen, now at 

 Moscow, published good plates of the Lichens, (Plantar Li- 

 chenosas, vol. i. — iii, Leipzig 1789 to 1801, folio). But for 

 the system of this family, we are indebted to Erick Acha- 

 rius, physician at Badstena, (Lichenographia I'niversalis, 

 Gottingen 1810, quarto ; Synopsis Methodica Lichenum, 

 Land. 1814, octavo.) 



The Jungermannia} were chiefly studied by William Jack- 

 son Hooker, (Jung-ermanniarum Icones, fasc. 1 — 20, Lon- 

 don 1813, quarto.) 



The Musci Frondosi were investigated in a very excellent 

 manner by John Hedwig, and a system proposed by him, 

 which deserved and obtained almost universal approbation, 

 because the parts of fructification in particular were examined 

 and represented with great skill, (Fundamenta Hisitoriye Na- 

 turalis Muscorum frondosorum, vol. i. ii. Leipzig 1782-«-4; 

 Descriptiones et Adumbrationes Muscorum frondosorum, vol. 

 i. ii., Leipzig 1189 to 1797, in folio; Species Muscorum 

 frondosorum, Leipzig 1801, quarto.) His worthy follower, 

 Fr. Schwagrichen, enriched botany with a great number of 

 new species, (Supplcmentum ad Species Muscorum, vol. i. ii. 

 Leipzig 1811, 1816, cpiarto). We are also much indebtml 

 to W. J. Hooker for our knowledge of British (Musco- 

 logia Britannica, London 1818, octavo,) and exotic Mosses, 

 (Musci Exotici, vol. i. ii. London 1818, 1819, octavo). A 

 new system of this family has lately been constructed by Sam.
