DiHennis, 
It IS in this book that we firft meet with 
BrymUy Hypmmy Mntum, Sphagnum^ Liche-- 
noides, and Lichenajirum, as generical names. 
The four firft of thefe, were terms in ufe 
with the Patres Botanici^ aUhough neglected 
by the reftorerS of tlie fcience, who had 
ranked all under the general, term Mufcus -y 
except the Licheriy Lyccpodium, and Polytri-- 
chum. To demonftrate his accuracy and 
diligence^ it may be obferved, that, in the 
environs of Giejfen ^lonc, Dillenius dif- 
covered more than 200 fpecies of Mojfes, 
of which 1 40 were new : of the Miijhroom 
order he enumerates 160, of which up- 
wards of 90 were fuch as he judged had 
not been noticed by any author before. 
The plants in this catalogue are difpofed 
in the order of flowering, throughout all 
the year. The places of growth are fub- 
joined, with critical obfervations on many 
of the fpecies. 
The Appendix contains a lift of twenty 
plants, additional to thofe of the Cata- 
logue, difcovered in the immediate environs 
of Giejfen \ and an enumeration of upwards 
of 100 fpecies, obferved by the author, be-
