Other editions of Emory's Report, 1848 



Oliver A. Farwell 



In the Bulletin of the Torrey Botanical Club for September, 

 1 895 1 Dr. Barnhart points out some differences in detail between 

 the botanical portions of Executive Document No. 7, for the 

 Senate, and Executive Document No. 41, for the House, the 



W. H. Emory's Notes on a Military 



noissance.

F. V. Coville, in discussing the above paper, deduces from internal 

 evidence that Ex. Doc, No. 41 was published earlier in 1848 than 

 Ex. Doc. No. 7. Mr. Coville also mentions a third edition, by 

 H. Long and Brother, of New York, which is an exact copy of 

 Ex. Document No. 7 but paged differently. 



It may be of interest to botanists to know that other editions 

 have been published. In the library of Parke, Davis & Co., 

 Detroit, Mich., there is a copy of each of both House and Senate 

 documents which are different in some respects from those described 

 by Dr. Barnhart and Mr. Coville. Judging from the remarks of 

 Messrs. Barnhart and Coville on the subject of typographical 

 errors in the earlier editions, I should imagine, from a careful 

 perusal of these copies, that many of the earlier errors were cor- 

 rected in these editions. 



Executive Document No. 41 was published in 1848, according 

 to the date of the title page. The character (7) appears on pages 

 17-32, inclusive, of Lieut. Emory's * 'Notes" instead of on pages 

 T45-158 of the botanical portion as described by Dr. Barnhart. 

 The full description of Zinnia grandifiora Nutt. is included and 

 appears on page 144. In other respects it agrees with the edition 

 described by Messrs. Barnhart and Coville. 



The other copy is appendix No. 2, taken bodily from some 

 report, but gives no evidence to indicate the report of which it 

 formed a part or its date of publication. The page is somewhat 

 smaller than that of Ex. Doc. No. 41 and the lines are double- 

 spaced, but the body of the report is essentially the same; the
