J 



Antillanae, III 1902, that the following persons visited Curagao 

 and collected plants in the various islands: 



J. Ph. B. von Bohr (about 1737—1793) visited CuraQao after 1786; 

 he sent plants from the Antilles to Prof. Vahl at Copenhagen. 

 It is possible that also in the Banks Herbary in the British 

 Museum, in the Martins Herbary at Brussels and in the Wildenow 

 Herbary at Berlin a number of plants from Curaqao are found. 

 F. Bredemeyer (1758—1839) visited Curaqao about 1787; his col- 

 lections are in the K. K. Hofrauseum at Vienna and in the her- 

 bary of the Botanical Museum at Berlin. 



J. Read also collected in Curagao; his collections are in the 

 Academy of Nat. Science at Philadelphia; West-Indian plants 

 also in the Krug und Urban Herbary at Berlin. 

 H. F. A. Baron von Eggers visited Curasao in 1893; it is not 

 known to the present author whether he also collected plants there. 

 It did not seem advisable to spend time on a search for these 

 plants, since in all probability this would not result in any new 

 information. 



From N. J. Jacquin., Selectarum stirpium Americanarum historia 

 (1763), appears that at that time some sixteen plants from Curagao 

 were already known, while also in Linn. Spec. (1753) a number 

 of data about Curagao plants are spread. •
