 bach labels are meager, usually consisting of the number and year,

 Volumes V to IX, 1868 to 1872. This was reset and, an index being added, pub- 

 lished in 1873 as Flora Cubana. The introduction to the first installment of the 

 series (5: 196. 1868) is as follows: "Revisio Catalogi Grisebachiani vel index planta- 

 rum cubensium ad catalogum CI. Grisebachii anno 1866 editum attemperata, pluribus 

 Wrightianis no vis speciebus aucta, valde quoque emendata, a cl. C. Wright; omnia 

 pro Annalibus Regiae Academiae Scientiarum Havanensis digesta, nominibusque 

 adjectis cubensibus vulgo receptis a Francisco A. Sauvalle. Setiembre, 1868." 

 Each continuation is headed "Revisto Catalogi Grisebachiani vel Index Plantarum 

 Cubensium; a Francisco A. Sauvalle." The reprint has a title page as follows:

The Gramineae appeared in Vol. VIII, 1871. The article was entirely reset for the 

 reprint, but a comparison of this portion of the original with the reprint shows very 

 few errors. In the original the serial numbers of the Gramineae occur as follows:
