Loefling (1776). He sailed from Cadiz, February 15, 1754, for Cu- 
mana where he spent six months. ‘Then he journeyed to New Bar- 
celona, the missions of Piritu, and the river Guyana, where he stayed 
three months. ‘Thence he traveled to the missions on the Curoni and 
returned to Cumanaé. In the description of his travels are noted 
thirty-four plants occurring about Cumana. 
; In the years from 1807 to 1825 were published various works by 
| Humboldt, Bonpland (’14~’29; ’14; ’08) and Kunth (’15~’25) deserib- 
| ing the travels of the first two and then giving notes on their observa- 
tions. Their list of plants, collected for the most part about Cuman& 
and along the Rio Negro and Cassiquiari Rivers, comprises some 1200 
numbers. Most of these are now in the herbarium of the Museum 
of natural history at Paris. : 
Funck and Linden landed at La Guaira in 1840. Linden went 
to Peru while Funck went toward the Orinoco, visiting Cumana, 
Guana-Guana, San Augustin where he made a rich collection, the 
Grotto de Guacharos, Caripe and its mountains. In 1842 and 1845 
he visited Santa Marta, San Sebastian, and Galipan, and thence went 
to Curacoa and to the region of the Silla de Caracas. His plants 
are in the Delessert herbarium at Geneva. There is no published 
list of them. Linden arrived at Caracas in January, 1842, and in 
May of the same year sent plants to Delessert. This collection 
(235 species) contained plants from the Silla de Caracas and the 
Cerro de Avila. In May, 1842, he left Caracas for the Andes of 
Merida. In January, 1843, he sent from Merida to the consul of 
France at Maracaibo plants collected in the high Andes of Truxillo 
and Merida. Linden’s plants of Colombia, which may include his 
Venezuelan ones, are at the following places: University of Ghent, 
herbarium de Candolle (2066 species), herbarium of the University 
at Leipzig, and the herbarium of the Royal museum at Vienna. 
There are plants of Funck collected at Caracas at the herbarium 
_ of the Academy of sciences at St. Petersburg (819 species). 
Plants of Funck and Schlim (Reichenbach, °54b) collected in 
tropical America are in the herbariums of the universities of Ghent 
and Leipzig as well as in the Delessert herbarium. 
Plants collected by Moritz (see Hampe ’47a, ’47b) are in the British 
museum, at the Royal botanical gardens in Berlin, in the herbarium 
of the Imperial botanical garden of St. Petersburg, and in that of 
_ the Imperial academy of St. Petersburg, of the Royal museum at 
Vienna, and of the University at Leipzig.
