SIR JOSEPH BANKS. 
Following is a list of his works so far as I have been able to ascertain 
them : — 
1. Extract from the minute book of the Linnean Society, November 
4, 1788. “ Mr. Dryander communicated to the Society, from Sir 
Joseph Banks, Bart., a specimen of an incomplete Buprestis: intro- 
duced from Bengal in a bale of muslin. {Linn. Soc. Trans., i, 255-6, 
1791.) ” 
2. Observations on the genus of Begonia (1789), Linn. Soc. Trans, i, 
1791, pp. 155-173. Romer, “Archiv. Botan.” i, 1798 (Hft. 3), pp. 65-79. 
3. Desiderata pro Bibliotheca Banksiana. (London) 1790, 8vo, 27 pp. 
Recensentur 1343 opera ex historia naturah, quse ill. Banks’ pro 
bibhotheca desiderabat, valde rara pleraque, e Sequiero potissimum 
sumta; quorum maxima pars jam mihi innotuit. 
4. Lindsaea, a new genus of ferns (1787), Linn. Soc. Trans, iii, 1794, 
pp. 39-43 ; Romer ‘‘Archiv. Botan.” ii, 1799-1801, pp. 234-237. 
5. On genera and species of plants which occur twice or three times, 
under different names, in Professor Gmehn’s edition of Linnaeus’s 
“ Systema Naturae.” (Read July 3, and October 2, 1792). Linn. Soc. 
Trans, ii, 1794, pp. 212-235. 
6. Catalogus bibliothecae historico-naturalis Josephi Banks, Londoni, 
typ. Gul. Buhner et soc., 1796-1800, v. 8vo vol. — 
i. Scriptores generales, 1798, vii, 309 p. ind.

iv. Mineralogi, 1799, ix, 390 p. ind. 
V. Supplementum et index auctorum, 1800, 531 p. 
“ 250 copies only were stated to have been issued. The work 
itself is a monument of careful arrangement and accuracy, 
but the subdivision of subjects is carried to excess.” — 
(Daydon Jackson.) 
7. Dissertatio Fungos regno vegetabili vindicans.* Romer, “Archiv. 
Botan.” ii, 1799-1801, pp. 202-209.

have come to the knowledge of J. Dryander.” “ Annals of Botany,” 
ed. Konig and Sims, vol. ii, 504-552 (1806). The article is dated 
20th January, 1806.

are Gaertn. Sem ; Labillardiere Nov. Holl. ; Andrews’ Repos. ; Yentenat 
Choix; Ventenat, Malmaison ; Smith, New Holl. ; do. Ann. of Bot. (i) ;
