Names of authors when long are 
properly abbreviated by giving the 
vV.V.C. 
first syllable and the first consonant 
of the second, as Lam. for Lamarck ; 
when there are more of the same 
name, an initial or other sign is 
added. The latest list is to be 
found in Gray’s ‘‘ Botanical Text- 
book,” ed. 6, p. 385-390. 
Bpsca! signs will be found in many 
works, but their use is usually ex- 
plained, as in Kichler’s ‘‘ Bluthendia- 
ramme.” For longer lists refer to 
Candolle (A. P. de) “Systema Vege- 
tabilium,” i. p. 12, 13; Trattinick 
(L.) ‘‘Synodus ” i. p. 13, 14; Loudon 
(J. C.) ‘‘ Hortus Britannicus,” ‘‘ En- 
cyclopedia of Plants,” and ‘‘ Arbore- 
tum”; Lindley (J.) ‘‘ Introduction 
to Botany,” ed. 1, p. 422-431. The 
meaning of chemical signs, such as 
COs for carbon dioxide, Hz O, water, 
and the like, must be obtained from a 
text-book of chemistry.
