Trans. Lin. Soc., 1843; 3. Six new N. Am. species of 
Carex, in Boston Journal of Nat. Hist., 1845; 4. De Carietbus, 
in Hooker’s Journal of Botany, 1846; 5. Caricis species Nove 
vel minus Cognitae, Lin. Soc., 1851; 6. Illustrations of the 
Genus Carex, Part I. 1858; Part II, 1860; and Part-II], 1862. 
These are severally quoted as Boott 1840, Boott 1851, &c. Boott’s 
Illustrations of Carex is a magnificent work containing fall de- 
scriptions and splendid figures of 291 species on 126 pages and 
411 plates, forming three large folio volumes. It is proper to 
add that Part IV was nearly complete for the press, when this 
admirable man and botanist was removed by death, on Christ- 
mas morning, 1864: born in Boston, 1792, and died in London. 
With noble generosity too he distributed the “Illustrations” 
among his numerous botanical friends. 
_ Figures of 119 species (numbered 117) are given in several 
volumes, ending vol. xlix, 1845. There are in vol. ix, 12 fig- 
ures; vol. x, 11 figures; xi, 26 figs.; xii, 2; xiv, 5; xxv, 3; 
xxvi, 2; xxviii, 6; xxix, 18; xxx, 9; xliii, 4; xlviii, 8; and 
xlix, 12 figures. Many of these are finely characteristic; but 
want of space prevents more particular reference. 
The following notices are important: : 
1, A Catalogue of one hundred and twenty-eight species 12 
vol. xi, pp. 819-825, 1826, as then understood. Due attention 
was not paid to priority of names. 
2. Species of Carex in the Herbarium of Dr. Muhlenberg, as 
named by him, in possession of the Am. Phil. Soc., Philadel- 
phia, compared with the species then current, vol. xxv, PPp- 
142-6, 1834. 
8. Carices collected in’ Arctic America by the English Explor- 
5 m 
(or more) of Carex, many more will probably be added in the 
coming twenty years.
