ERRATA FOR NUMBER I, VOL. VI. 



This Number of Vol. VI, and indeed the whole volume, was put to press 

 during the unavoidable absence of the Publisher, and was found to contain 

 inaccuracies which he can correct only by noting them in the following 

 manner. Number II, of this volume, it is presumed will be found as free 

 from errors as the nature of a scientific publication will admit. At any 

 rate, the Publisher will effectually guard against a recurrence of a similar 

 misfortune. He could only learn from experience, that a scientific public- 

 ation could not be left with the same safety as ordinary works. 



0° It is but just to remark, that many of the errors occurred from the il- 

 legibility, and some, from the inaccuracy of the manuscript. Some also are 

 alterations from copy.

 * We omit a few errata in the spelling of botanical names, as the correc- 

 tions will be obvious to every botanist.
