BIBLIOGRAPHICAL NOTES 269 
According to Cuvier, only five copies of each monograph were 
struck off; these were so distributed by the author, whom he 
describes as a bibliomaniac, that no one should have a perfect set; 
Sir J. E, Smith, h however, ‘ always understood that twelve of each 
were printed.” 
From letters to Dryander, we learn that two other monographs 
had been prepared. Writing on July 7, 1788, L’Héritier gives a 
summary, with brief diagnoses and references to fifteen plates, of a 
** petit travail’ to be entitled roma seri rartora, Which he pro- 
posed to publish at the end of that ; the diagnoses of the new 
Kew. i. 246-252—one at least, S. Vespertilio, is based on a plant in 
the Banksian Herbarium. Following letters show that Dryander 
WwW nd 
concerning them. On March 12, 1789, he writes to Dryander con- 
cerning a monograph of Juglans, to contain six 
= a sinatig set in the Kew library, of which sien: are eeolotined: The 
plates numbered in pencil from 125 to 167. The proof plates bear 
notes in the handwriting of L’Héritier, Solander, and Dryander. 
From references os ‘his correspondence with Dryander, some of 
which are printed in the Hortus Kewensis, it is seen that a second 
volume of the Sti Seis Nita had been mapped out. By piecing 
— — scattered references it has been possible to draw up
