The printing of Part IT is well advanced, and the completion 7 
of the whole work may be expected during 1894. : 

The following communication from SIR JosEPH HOoKER, F.R.S., etc., etc., explains 
the origin, plan and purpose of this important and comprehensive undertaking: 
“SHORTLY before his death Mr. Darwin informed me of his intention to devotea © 
considerable sum in aid or furtherance of some work of utility to biological science; and 
to provide for its completion, should this not be accomplished during his lifetime, He — § 
also informed me that the ditliculties he had experienced in accurately designating the ~~ 
many plants which he had studied, and ascertaining their native countries, had sug- ~ 
gested to him the compilation of an INDEX TO THE NAMES AND AUTHORITIES OF ALL 
KNOWN FLOWERING PLANTS AND THEIR COUNTRIES, aS a work of supreme importance to ~ 
students of systematic and geographical botany and to horticulturists, as a fitting object 
of the fulfilment of his intentions ; 4 
“I have only to add that, at his request, I undertook to direct and supervise such a 
work; and that it is being carried out at the herbarium of the royal gardens, Kew, with ~ 
the aid of the staff of that establishment.’’ JOS. D. HOOKER.
