26 INDEX TO THE LI]!iNEAN HEEBARIUM. 



amanuensis, as, for instance, under Acalypha virgata 

 (m. Sol.) = inanu Solandri, or the name on the sheet being 

 in the handwriting of D. C. Solander, or (m. L. f.) where the 

 handwriting is that of the younger Linne. 

 Specific names in italic type show that there is no specimen so 

 named by Linne, but in cases where there can Ije no doubt 

 as to the actual plant, I have added (pi.)* Thus Abeus 

 jorecatorius is the only species, and is represented by a 

 specimen, but does not show" the name as written by Linne ; 

 sometimes the number from the ' Species Plantarum,' ed. I. 

 is put, but although there can be, in monotypic genera 

 especially, no doubt as to the authenticity of such specimen, 

 I have kept to my rule of not printing in E-oman type, unless 

 the name is written in full by Linne. 



The numbers following the genera refer to the running numbers 

 of the Catalogue of the Herbarium, as printed in Proc. Linn. Soc. 

 1906-7, pp. 96-112. 



The numbers (1, 2, or 3) following the species refer to the 

 enumeration in which they first occur, thus : — - 



Li 1753 by the figure 1. 

 „ 1755 „ „ 2. 



% 1767 „ „ 3. 



These lists are fully explained on pp. 8-9. Where no figure 

 folloAvs, the specimen was obtained after 1767, or was by some 

 accident not recorded by Linne. 



The same specimen was frequently shifted by Linne, as his 

 view^s of affinity changed. I have tried to point out where a 

 specimen may now be found, by adding the later name, as under 

 AcHYBANTHES repens = Illecebrum Achyrantha, which means 

 that the specimen is now in Illecebrum. MS. names are shown 

 by that abbreviation ; when they were published in the ' Supple- 

 mentum ' which bears the name of the younger Linne as author, 

 the abbreviation of " Suppl." has been affixed; this has the further 

 interest of pointing out which species in that work are really due 

 to the father and not to the son. 



The types of the younger Linne in the herbarium are not as a 

 rule indicated ; they are left for another opportunity, as are also 

 the zoological lists which were brought to light during the pre- 

 paration of this Index. The numbers following the generic name 

 in Clarendon type, refer to the Catalogue drawn up by David Don 

 and E-ichard Kippist, when the Linnean Collections were acquired 

 in 1830, after the death of Sir James Edward Smith ; they are still 

 used when consulting the Herbarium.
