BIBLIOGRAPHICAL NOTES 



B. DAVDO]\ JACKSOiV 



In conséquence of an enqiiiry macle lo me by M. Eugène AuLran, I hâve 

 referred to Wendlaiid's « Collectio plantaruin tam exoticaruin quam 

 indigenarum, « etc., which is given by Pritzel as issued in 1808-19. 

 ForUinately the copy of that work in the library of the herbai'ium at Kew 

 possesses the first. and the last two of the original coloui'ed wrappers, by 

 which the dates of the critical periods can be ascertained. Each part (Heft) 

 consisted of six plates and the corresponding letterpiess, and at starting, 

 it was intended that one or two of thèse parts should be brought out in 

 each year. This appears to bave beeii done with some regularity tili the 

 beginning of the third and last volume, when an interval of seven years 

 separated the only two parts of that volume. On the inside of the last 

 cover is a notice that the whole had been ready for publication since 

 1812, but political events had interfered to prevent earlier issue. It also 

 incidentally mentions that the 25^^ Heft of bis « Ericarum Icônes >> would 

 be published in the same year. I append a füll Statement of the whole 

 issue so far as ï can ascertain it.
