 The only papers liable to be credited in error to Major LeConte 

 are several on the^exudation of ice from the stems of plants, and 

 the resistance of plants to freezing temperatures, published 1S50- 

 52; these were by his nephew, Dr. John LeConte, the physicist 

 (1818-1891). 



White's "Statistics of the state of Georgia," published in 1849, 

 has a separately paged appendix entitled "Catalogue of the fauna 

 and flora of the state of Georgia." Of the various lists, most of 

 which are distinctly credited to various authors, the last, occupying 

 pages 43-47, is called: Catalogue of the flora in Georgia, arranged 

 according to the Linnaean and natural system. This list is anony- 

 mous, but has been attributed to "LeConte." In the preface to 

 the volume, White acknowledges his indebtedness to "Major 

 LeConte, of New York" and to "Dr. LeConte, of Athens" (his 

 nephew); the latter contributed the list of birds to the appendix, 

 and the former is presumably the "John LeConte" who prepared 

 the list of coleopterous insects (a group in which we know he was 

 at that time particularly interested). The plant list, however, 

 seems to have been little more than a compilation of names from 

 Elliott's "Sketch" and contains abundant internal evidence 

 that it was not the work of Major LeConte.
