Appendix B. 



When Mr. Kurz handed me his private collection of Com- 

 positas, he also handed me a list of the numbers in that collection 

 which were attached to specimens received by him from Dr. 

 Jaeschke at Lahnl : and Mr. Knrz at the same time made an 

 explanation to me that I regret to say I imperfectly nnderstood. 



I now learn, when too late to correct the error, that Mr. Kurz, 

 being short of printed tickets marked " Coll. Dr. Jaeschke," 

 affixed to a large number of the specimens sent down by Dr. 

 Jaeschke printed tickets marked " Coll. Dr. Stoliczka." All 

 these specimens of Dr. Jaeschke's have thus been by me attri- 

 buted to Dr. Stoliczka. 



In Mr. Kurz' Herbarium there are many specimens collected by 

 Dr. Stoliczka in Worth Kashmir and Tibet ; but still of the large 

 number of localities, new species, &c, attributed above to Dr. 

 Stoliczka very many belong to Dr. Jaeschke. 



I am the more sorry that carelessness on my part should have 

 led to this attributing of Dr. Jaeschke's work to Dr. Stoliczka 

 in that Mr. Kurz himself is so very particular in giving to every 

 one his due. I can only now publicly apologise to Dr. Jaeschke, 

 and say that the mistake which has been made by me was 

 wholly a mistake : and that I am entirely innocent of any de- 

 sign to rob him of the credit of collecting so many new and 

 interesting species.
