170 REMARKS ON BOTANICAL BIBLIOGRAPHY. 



* 



Fleischer (Georg Christian). Lilia Bubenis, sire Dissertatio 

 philologica-critica. . . . D. Hafniae, 1703. 4to. (ii., 



2932). 

 Hagendorn (Ehrenfried). Tractatus physico-medicus de Catechu 



si ve terra japonica. Jenae, 1679. 8vo. (ii., 3692), 

 The next examples are mere excerpts from various journals, 

 and have no claim to be considered independent works : 



Encontre (Daniel). Additions a la Flore biblique de Sprmgel. 



[Montpellier, 1811.] 8vo. (ii., 2684). 



Becherches sur la botanique des anciens. [Mont- 



pellier, 1813.] 8vo. (ii., 2685). 



Trecul (Awfuste). Becherches sur la structure et le developpe- 

 ment du Nuphar lutea. [Paris, 1843.] 8vo. (ii., 9468). 



In such cases as the last three it would surely have been better 

 to have excluded them as the majority of similar tracts have been 

 treated, as for instance was done in a wholesale manner in the 

 case of J. F. C. Montagne, where twenty-three papers, entered under 

 his name in Ed. i., do not appear in Ed. ii. Previous to the 

 publication of the Koyal Society's Catalogue of Scientific Papers 

 there was a great inducement to include such, lest they might be 

 overlooked, but now there can be little gained by such partial 

 cataloguing. 



So far I have named books and pamphlets which might have 

 been excluded with advantage ; I now turn to the consideration of 

 those which were rejected in the compilation of the second edition. 

 What were the grounds of shutting out publications like these ?— 



Durazzo (Ippolito). II giardino botanica deUo Zerbino ossia 

 catalogo delle piante ivi coltivate. Genova, 1804. 8vo. 

 (i., 2845). 



Eaton (Amos). Botanical Exercises. • . . Albany, 1820. 



8vo. (i., 2884). 



Wachsthum 



Hirschfeld (Wilhelm). Die Ernaehrung und das 



der Pflanzen nach dem neuesten chemischen und physik- 



alischen Beobachtungen Kiel, 1844. 8vo. 



.(i., 4510). 

 I might easily multiply these examples to a very large total, if 

 it were needed, but these will suffice to show that, probably, several 

 hundreds of titles have been thrown out by what appears to me 

 serious errors of judgment. For samples of wholesale rejection let 

 a comparison be made of such names as James Petiveb and 

 Bafinesque in the respective editions.

 Pritzel, but the two contributions by the author whose name is 

 given as the director of the series, are thus omitted.
