BiBLlOGRAPHiCAti NOTES 285 



in the library of the Herbarium in the Eoyal Botanic Gardens, 

 Kew. 



Last autumn, however, Dr. B. L. Eobinson wrote to me, asking 

 whether it w^ere possible to get to the actual dates of the various 

 parts as issued of the Flora Antarctica. On receiving this letter, 

 it occurred to me that possibly in the records of the Linnean 

 Society might be discovered the dates when the respective parts 

 came out, and upon referring to the Donation Book I have been 

 able to draw up the table appended, in some measure relying also 

 on the preliminary announcements in Hooker's Lond. Journ. Bot. 

 iii. (1844) pp. 274-276 ; ibid. iv. (1845) pp. 30-33. Doubts as to 

 the precise limits of a few parts are shown by the sign (?). 



At Dr. Eobinson's suggestion I am putting these dates upon 

 record for the information of others ; the dates specified are those 

 when each part was received by the Linnean Society, which may 

 be slightly later by a few days than the actual date of issue.
