The printing of Part II is well advanced, and the completion 

 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 devote a 

 considerable sum in aid or furtherance of some work of utility to biological science; and 

 to provide for its completion, should this not be nccomplished during his lifetime. He 

 also iiformed me that the difficulties he had experienced in accurately designating the 

 many plants which he had ntudied, 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 



"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. H JOKER.
