Flore Medicale des Antilles (1821—29) is of little scientific value. HAMILTON’S 
Prodromus Plantarum Indiae occidentalis (1825) is a pamphlet on certain new 
or doubtful species and Mavcock’s Flora Barbadensis (1830) is a compendious 
list of Barbado plants. The Flora of Jamaica by MACFADYEN in two volumes 
appeared in 1837 and in 1850 respectively. A. RıcHARD’s Flora of Cuba 
(1838—53) compiled from RAMON DE LA SAGRA’s and LINDEN’s materials is 
incomplete. RAMON DE LA SAaGrA’s Flora cubana, 6 descripcion botanica, 
usos, y applicaciones de Cuba, in four volumes Paris 1853 is an important work 
by the director of the botanic garden at Havana. 
A.H.R. GRISEBACH, beginning with “Systematische Untersuchungen über 
die Vegetation der Karaiben” in 1857, published in English in 1864 his monu- 
mental work Flora of the British West Indian Islands, which has not 
been supplanted by any book up to the present 1908. Grisebach, also, is the 
author ‘of Plantae Wrightianae e Cuba orientali 1860°—62; Die geographische 
Verbreitung der Pflanzen Westindiens 1865 and Catalogus plantarum Cuben- 
sium exhibens collectionem Wrightianam, etc. 1866. 
W. S. SULLIVANT published in the Proceedings of the American Academy of 
Arts and Sciences in 1861 his Musci Cubenses, or Mosses collected by CHARLES 
WRIGHT in the Eastern Part of the Island of Cuba during the years 1856, 
1857 and ı858. Histoire des Fougeres et des Lycopodiacees des Antilles 
Paris 1866 is by A. L. A. FE£ in which a critical account is given of 722 pteri- 
dophytes. — The principal works of later date on the flora of the West Indies 
may be mentioned: TOMAS GONZALES Y DELGADO published in the annals of 
the Academy of Havana from ı867 to 1869, Apuntes para la Flora Cubana, 
a revision of the Cuban plants, cited by CAVANILLES. Fungi Cubenses by 
M. J. BERKELEY and M. A. CURTIS appeared in the Journal Linnaean Society 
of London in 1869; the original specimens being deposited in the Kew Her- 
barium. F. A. SAUVALLE published in ı873 at Havana his Flora Cubana of 
324 pages and ALFRED BERNARD in an inaugural dissertation (Halle 1877) 
contrasts the flora of the west and east Indian archipelagos. The mosses of 
the French Antilles were described by E. BESCHERELLE in his Florule bryo- 
logique des Antilles frangaises Paris 1876. DoMinGo BELLO v ESPINOSO, who 
lived at Mayagüez from 1848 to 1878 published at Madrid in 1881—83, Apuntes 
para la Flora de Puerto Rico. | 
he name of Baron H. F. A. EGGERS is prominently identified with the 
botanic explorations of the West Indies. He published at least ten or eleven 
brochures dealing with Santo Domingo, the Bahamas, Puerto Rico, St. Croix 
and Tobago, but his Flora of St. Croix and the Virgin Islands, issued as a 
Bulletin of the United States National Museum in 1879, is the most important. — 
Dr. A. STAHL, whose plants are in the herbarium of Krug and Urban at 
Berlin, published from 1ı883—88 Estudios sobre la Flora de Puerto Rico. 
OSWALD READE printed at Hamilton, Bermuda in 1883 a book entitled Plants 
of the Bermudas, or Somers’ Islands, and in 1884 JOHN HENRY LEFROY, the 
Botany of the Bermudas, as a Bulletin of the United States National Museum,
