LINNEAN HBBBAKIUM. 9 



have escaped marking altogether ; pages 408 and 409 have been 

 turned over together, so that three small genera and the first 

 third of Antirrhinum have been missed, though the remainder 

 of the latter has been duly marked : such omissions show that 

 the marking was done from memory. Trifolium comosum is not 

 in the herbarium now, and was not noted in 1753 nor 1767, but 

 was so in 1755 ; in all probability the dot in the manuscript 

 catalogue is an error, and the plant was at no time in Linn6's 

 possession. 



CONTRIBUTOES TO THE HeEBAEIUM. 



At the hundredth anniversary of this Society on 24th May^ 

 1888, I gave an account so far as then ascertainable of the con- 

 tributors to the Linnean herbarium (Proc. 1887-8, pp. 18-22). 

 Since then fresh information has been obtained from Prof. T. M. 

 Fries's 'Linne,' 1903, the early volumes (i.-vi.) of the corre- 

 spondence of C. V. Linne (Bref ocli skrifvelser) and my exami- 

 nation of the entire collection. The last word cannot be given as 

 yet, but when the whole of the letters are printed, it will be easier 

 to add to the present account, than it is now to give a complete 

 presentation. The following may be considered as the chief 

 contributors to the herbarium. 



Ahleloe, Jonas Joachimson (1717-1783), a pupil of Linne, 

 afterwards rector of Prillesas. 



Allamand, Predebiqiie (fl. 1770-86), born at Lausanne, gra- 

 duated at Leyden in 1749, and communicated Surinam 

 specimens from 1756 to 1771 and later. 



Allioni, Carlo (1725-1804). Italian alpine plants. 



Alsteomer, Baro7i Clas (1736-1794). Prof, T. M. Pries states 

 that during his travels in Spain and the South of Europe, 

 from 1760 to 1764, the Baron sent to Linne no fewer than 

 1550 dried plants, 250 sorts of seeds, 202 shells, 60 corals, 

 and 94 fishes, with many living plants, bulbs and roots. 

 These numbers rest upon the correspondence, as I do not 

 find tickets or memoranda from him in the herbarium. 

 Linne speaks of receiving " several packets, which he had 

 partly collected himself and partly received from others " ;, 

 possibly many were exchanged or given away. 



Ammann, JoHANN (1707-1741), born at Schaffhausen, died as 

 Professor of Botany at St. Petersburg ; during his short life, 

 he corresponded and sent dried plants. 



Aj^^karcrona, Admiral Theodor Christopher, afterwards en- 

 nobled (1687-1750). With other plants communicated 

 Phaseolus radiatus about the year 1742. 



Ardtjino, Pietro (1728-1805) ; sent many plants, which are 

 usually marked " Ard." close to the base of the stem. 



Argillander, Abraham (1722-1800) ; communicated Swedish 

 and Pinnish plants.
