12 ON THE CHINESE PLANTS COLLECTED BY D’INCARVILLE. 
Plantes at Paris, and some specimens - to England by Lonreiro 
himself are at the British Museum,+ in both cases intercalated in 
the general collections; in neither case, so far as I am aware, 
either gate bi or fully worked up. 
i glish Cunningham, full notices of whose works have been 
brought soipethar with so much pains by Dr. Bretschneider, cannot 
i oblivi 
eo spied remained in the Sloane Herbarium for nearly 200 
years, with very few éxceptions undetermined. I have lately 
loka over his Chien plants, and I agree with the Editor ( Journ. 
Bot.,’ 1882, p. 249) that many of the specimens, small as they 
mostly are, sould be readily identified by anyone familiar with the 
flora of the neighbouring mainland. A number of them I am sure 
can be easily matched from my own collections in the Shanghai 
ts. 
De; Bretschneider, on page 44 of his ‘ Early Researches,’ says : 
“It appears from Cunningham’s letters and from Petiver’s 
quotations that the latter had also ii from Cunningham a 
collection of Chinese drawings ie enting Chinese plants. 
Petiver frequently speaks of Herbarium nostrum sinense pictum.” 
In answer to my recent seriirions ape the British Museum, a 
gentleman well acquainted with the Sloane manuscripts informs me 
that he has no recollection of ever coming across the ‘“ herbarium 
es 
turned out to be a brief enumeration of Tabule 1 to 48, each with 
18 numbers, ~—e a total of 774 numbers. As  Petiver’s 
handwriting appears in this catalogue, it can hardly be gabe 
that it refers to the “ther barium pictum’”’ in question; and I ho 
soon to have an opportunity of making a saree search for the 
ronthote themselves.
