BIBLIOGRAPHICAL NOTES. 
XXV.—Avsert pu Perit-THovars. 
Mr. . Woopwarp’s interesting article (pp. 892-400) “ 
Aubert “s Pati Thouars fairly raises the qu eg tion of date 
several of the works dealt with. The work no. 2 in Mr. Wood. 
ward’s list (p. 294), ‘‘ Plantes Sa iles fae l Afriqne australe formant 
des genres nou ” or alternative titles, 4to, Paris, 1804- 
1807, sbdinitiel seis: four plates retalagies of two plates of Cycas), 
and was issued, or re-issued, as stated by Mr. Woodward, in four 
fascicles. De Theis, Glossaire de Botanique, 8vo, Paris, 1 
quoted most of the genera according to their fascicles; also 
Pfeiffer, Nomencl. Bot. (1873-74), quoted all the genera according 
to their fascicles and dates; there is a little discrepancy bet “wre 
these two authorities. Jaume St. Hilaire, Expos. Fam. Nat. 
Suppl. (1805), pales the first ee of the genera fioured on ws 
twenty-four plates; he also supplied specific names to the plants 
gured, most of which names are not contained in the Kew Index. 
A ree ation of all the evidence gives the a dates and 
fascicles of the twenty-four plates, as follows 
tt. 1-4, 1804; fasc. 
tt. 5-8, 1804; part ot fase. ii. 
. 1-8 and the two plates of Cycas were included in livraison i., 
. 9-18 were intended to make up livraison ii., and tt. 19-24 to 
eles to es iii. See Pet.-Th. Mélanges, Discours prélimi- 
naire, p. 5 1). 
Besides ths twenty-four plates illustrative of new genera and 
the two plates of Cy yeas there appeared six plates, numbered ttt 
they were issued a an additional fascicle or livraison, and ar 
apparently the six ‘ates referred to and announced with the text 
for sale in Pet.-Thouars, Rev. Gén. Mat. Bot. p. 5 (1819). These 
plates are shaded in lithograph, and in the Kew (Bibl. orton copy 
they are lettered with the names on the plates, as follows:

Pl. xxvii. Brmvponta oxycarpa 
Pl. xxviii. ( radicans
