Covers the period from Albertus Magnus (1495) to the year 1840, and numbers 1013 

 annotated titles, the annotations in many cases amounting to a full statement of contents, 

 so far as pertinent to the present subject, including names of species and genera and nature 

 of treatment. All thus far published. The cause of the discontinuance of publication is 

 explained in an insert, as follows: 



"Owing to the illness of the author, which prevented his revision of the proof-sheets, it 

 was necessary to stop the printing of the 'List' at the end of the year 1840. The present 

 instalment comprises only a little more than one- third of the article; the remainder will be 

 published as soon as the author's health renders it practicable. — J. A. Allen, Cambridge, 

 Sept., 1882."
