BIBLIOGRAPHICAL NOTES. 
XLVI.—* NomencLATOR GARSAULTIANUS.” 
Unver this title Thellung (in Bull. Herb. Boiss. sér. 2, viii. 
713, 1908) puts forward M. de Garsault’s Figures des Plantes 
to recognition in modern botanical alan ad As Dr. Thellung 
himself shows, more than half are uninominal or multinominal— 
me exact figures are (fide Thellung) HiAoiitnal 336, uninominal 
2, polynominal Fe nd this clearly indicates that Garsault 
Hioedtt intended. to use no system, binominal or otherwise. . The 
'78) of Garsault’s names with those used by Linnzus demonstrates 
that Garsault had no apadihins. or at any rate made no use 0 
inneus’s works. . A com rison | of Garsault’s volumes with 
account which Darden gives of hing shows him to have been a 
clever writer upon very various subjects, none of “High except 
warmth ork under consideration have any connection with natural 
ence. 
It is absurd to attempt a parallel, as Dr. Thellung does, between 
the nomenclature of Miller’s Gardeners Dictionar ary, ed. viii,, and 
that of Garsault. In this edition Miller, as he says in his preface, 
entirely followed Linnzus’s method; his nomenclature is that of 
real except for additions which also follow the binominal
