CATALOGUE OF THE DIATOMACEHl.* 
This Catalogue is thus described by the author:-— “ The follow- 
ing Catalogue, made for private use, contains the references to the 
literature of the Diatomacege published prior to May, 1877. 
“ At the suggestion of Prof. Hamilton L. Smith, of Hobart 
College, fifty copies have been reproduced by the Edison electric 
pen process, for gratuitous distribution among those specially 
interested in this branch of Natural History, and I trust the errors 
or omissions will not be found sufficient to impair the value of the 
Catalogue. During the entire time spent upon this work, the kind 
assistance rendered by my brother, Dr. John Habirshaw, has 
greatly added to its early completion.” 
The fifty copies have been distributed as follows : — England, 13 ; 
Germany, 14; France and Belgium, 4; Sweden, 2 ; S. America, 
1, and the remainder in N. America. 
In a private communication Mr. Habirshaw remarks — I trust 
that the book will meet your approval, and be of usefulness as a 
‘ time-saver.' The matter of synonyms I am not accountable for, 
they being transcripts and not originals ; it has been my intention, 
through the whole book, to be nothing more than the ‘ servile 
copyist. ”
