BIBLIOGRAPHICAL NOTES. 
LIX.—A BrsuiograrHican Puzzwe. 
Ween engaged in collating the first and second editions of 
Lee’s Introduction to Botany for a correspondent, I have come 
upon something which I am not able to explain. The second 
edition differs from the first, capo in its having a glossary, and 
it is es glossary which puzzles 
rst edition was published. in 1760, and was eet in 
pi sy the second. The title pages are practica ally the same, 
cept we have, after te second edition,” this phrase $6 
which es ad Sil arrng The body of the work runs from 
page 1 to 332, the last four pages constituting signature Z 
Next pies ce slated, with as many corresponding leaves of 
explanation, without pagination. After plate 12 we come to “ 
Glossary; explaining the technical terms in Botany : in alphabetical 
order.” ere comes the curious point; the signature, instead of 
being as we should suspect, 2A, AA, or Aa, is actually Gg, and 
the first page is actually 449. How came this gap ? it we allow 
the utmost of 24 pages for the leaves a oe plates, the first 
page of the Glossary should be 357 (333 + 2 rah but is in 
fact 92 pages ahead, without a hint of any Setsc ath 
I have failed up to now to find an English rit ‘from which 
this Glossaicy could have been taken bodily. Between the issue of 
the first edition of Linneus’s Species Plantarum in 1753, and the 
far I cannot assign this as belonging to any work by T. Martyn, 
J. Hill, Stillingfleet or Wilson, assuming, as the signature oo 
pagination lead us to suppose, that this a of Lee’s book w
