borne out by the number of sheets, supposing that the fascicles 
remained equal to the end. As regards the date of publication of 
individual fascicles, I have gathered the following from the various 
notices in current periodicals :— 
Fascicle 1 was reviewed in Bot. Zeit. xii. 63, Jan. 27, 1854. 
Hu 2 - (with 1) in Flora, xxxvii. 125, Feb. 28, 1854.

Part i. (fase. 1-6) ,, »»  X&Xxvili, 251, Apr. 28, 1855. 
This means that fascicles 1-5 Pe before nhs 28, 1854. 
Fascicles 3-5 may have come out together; at an e I find no 
ope notices. Moreover ines probably peut 4h July or 
August, 1854, as fascicles 1-5 are reviewed in the Revue Biblio- 
graphique attached to the account of the tJuly 18 of the Société 
Botanique de la France, on the sitting of July 12 (Bull. Soc. Bot. 
Fr. 1854, 145). This number of the Bull ed was probably pub- 
lished at any rate before about the beginning of September, as the 
death of Philip it rker Webb, a member of the Society, which 
occurred in Paris on Aug. 81, is not recorded till the next number, 
we contains ok account of the proceedings at the sitting of 
uly 2 
There i is, in fact, evidence that the whole of part i. appeared in 
1854, for N. T. Anderssen, in the Beréittelse om Botaniska Arbeten 
under “ Aren 1853 och 1854” (a review of necting literature for 
the two years, published at Stockholm in 1856), notices the ar 
thus :-—* Synopsis Plantarum Glumacearum. Auct 
EK. G. Steudel. Fase. i--vi. Esslingen, 1854.’ The “lait, e, 
which with the title-page was issued with the last faseiele 
Bull. Soc. Bot. Fr. l.¢.), is dated August, 1854. Furtherm 
fascicles 7-9, containing the greater part of part ii., were review 
in the same number of Flora (Apr. 28, 1855, p. 258) as part i., and 
it would seem, therefore, unless fascicles 6-9 succeeded ‘aki other 
very rapidly, that part i. at any rate was complete some little time 
before that dat 
rele part ii, (Cyperacee, Restiacea, &c.) we have the following 
Fascicles 7-9 (pp. 1-240), reviewed in Flora, xxxviii. 258, April 28, 
Fascicle 10, reviewed in Flora, xxxviii. 604, Oct. 14,1855.  [1855. 
Fascicles 7-9 contain almost the whole of Cyperacea, which end 
on p. 246, the rest of fascicle containing the remaining orders
