native names, many of them cultivated: it was probably added to 
the Journal at a later date. A still earlier list, in Banks’s hand, 
is preserved in the Department; it forms one of the « Catalogues 
of the plants of Cook’s First Voyage in the order in which they 
were loosely placed in the drying books in which they were brought 
ome.” In this is indicated the number of specimens collected of 
each, the number of species being 255. In it are many MS. names, 
which were continued through the later list into the MS. lists of 
last-named in the list in Buch’s work. Although originated by 
Banks, in whose first MS. they appear—or perhaps more accurately 
by Banks and Solander—they must, so far as published in Buch, 
be quoted as of Brown, who is responsible for their publication and 
for such descriptions as are given. These lists formed the basis of 
the folio MS. in Solander’s hand, preserved in the Department of 
Botany, entitled * Primitis Florm Maderensis, ‘sive Catalogus Plan- 
tarum in Insula Madera a.c. mpccuxvin diebus : 
collectarum.” This is an extremely careful piece of work, which i 
is to be regretted was not published ; it contains descriptions of 
Masson sent Ba 28 species, and also his ‘‘own herbarium,” 
containing “about 444 folios and upwards of 400 different species, 
which I take the liberty to recommend to your care unti , 
with power to open, examine, and describe any plants that may not 
be in your collection.” * He continues: “ 
investigate either the Canaries or Azores with that accuracy as 
Madeira: owing to the good disposition of the Governour, and the 
genteel society of English Gentlemen who reside here.” 
n August of the same year Masson sent “a few plants’ to 
Linneus, among them the plant described from his specimens 
(Linn. f. Suppl. 141) as Campanula aurea. Masson, in the letter + 
* I have never been able to discover what became of Masson’s herbarium ; 
his plants are of course well represented in the Banksian collection, but he 
evidently had a rium of his own.
