n England, L’Heéritier had already projected and was 
working aa: a@ monograph on Geraniums, and for that purpose 
examined the Banksian Herbarium, on which he based some of 
his species, hich names are attached in his own handwriting. 
The forty-four plates for the work wer lished under the title 
Geraniologia, Wi e-page bearing the da -1788, which 
(see p. 267) were those during whic subscribers should hav 
received the parts, and not necessarily th ublication. Usteri 
(Ann. der Bot. S. iii. 17 17) says: ‘“ 
nge angekiindigten, u f dem Titelblatt mit den Jahrzahlen 
1787. und 1788. ined erke, werden izt, in i 
Jah allein die Kupfer ausgegeben, mit der Nachricht 
der Text solle bald nachfolgen.”’ It may not unfairly be assumed 
at it was t to Ziirich with the Fase ft. tirpes, and, 
like that, may have been in circulatio is what earlier, 
though it was evidently not out when L’Héritier replied to Cavanilles 
in March, 1789. Lamarck does not mention it when citing the 
Stirpes, nor does De Lamétherie in any of his annual summaries in 
the Observations sur la Physique allude to it, though L’Heéritier’s 
other works are mentioned. Its probable date of issue was late in 
1791 or early in 1792. 
Concerning the text, L’Héritier writes to Dryander on 12 April, 
1789: ‘* Enfin je reprends ces chers Geranium pour ne les plus 
quitter”; he establishes Hrodiwn as a genus, and gives alist of the 
h g 
26 April and 8 May, 1789. It was from these lists that the 
citations in the Hortus eure were ada: The text was never
