J 30 Mr. Ha worth's Results of an extensive Re-examination 



Mr. Wingate's notice was read to the Natural History So- 

 ciety on the 20th of October 1829, and Mr. Selby's description 

 on the 16th of February 1830: both these papers, with beau- 

 tiful illustrations from the pencil of Mr. Selby, will appear in 

 the first part of the Transactions of the Natural History So- 

 ciety, about to be published. 



Mr. Yarrell's high scientific acquirements are well known 

 and generally appreciated ; nor is there any wish to detract 

 from his merit in this particular instance, in tracing out ex- 

 amples of peculiar structure in individuals of this genus which 

 had been observed by himself and others at different periods : 

 at the same time it must be acknowledged that Mr. Wingate's 

 skill as an ornithologist is placed in a very favourable point of 

 view by the discovery, his acute observation having enabled 

 him to point out a new species, from the first specimen which 

 came under his notice. I am, Sir, yours, &c.

XIX. Results of an extensive Re-examination oftheNarcissea?i 

 Group of Plants. By A. H. Ha worth, Esq. F.L.S. 8?c. fyc. 



To the Editors of the Philosophical Magazine and Annals. 

 Gentlemen, 



A S the valuable purchase of the Linnaean Herbarium by 

 ■*"*- the Linnaean Society of London has enabled me to make 

 a few useful remarks on, and additions to, my Narcissorum 

 Revisio, I avail myself of the opportunity so afforded, and of 

 your excellent Miscellany, for such purposes. 



Having, as far as possible to me, extensively re-examined 

 the Narcissean group of plants ; indeed, very nearly the whole, 

 (except a few species which I studied in 1819 in the garden of 

 the Horticultural Society of London, but was desired not to 

 publish,) I am pretty confident as to the correctness of the 

 following statements.
