under the auspices of Mer. le Duc. de Chaulnes.” A number 
of generic names appear in this list, earlier than in any other 
work of my knowledge, and the identity of them is always 
made clear by references to the works of such authors as 
Tournefort, Caspar Bauhin, Morison, ete. If under these cir- 
cumstances credit is due to Robbe for priority of publication, 
I leave to others to decide. The following names seem 
affected. I shall also add the names of authors, to whom the 
plants have hitherto been 100 e since 1753.
