and emarg'uiata, Ehrh., as well as in two or three exotics. I find J. pulcherrima 
(which a])pears in habit, a good deal allied to your Jungernianniae) has a very 
rlifferent caly.x and nothing remarkable about it. 
Pray do you approve of the term Frond for the Jungermanniae? Dr. Smith 
and I are inclined to think it should be so. The Dr. also proposes to me that 
the foliolum when divided as in bidentata, bicuspidata, &c., should be called 
“ foliolum biceps,” that that of undulata. nemorosa, &c., should be called 
foliolum bilobum, and that part of it which has been called an auricle, lobxdus. 
What Sclimiedel calls Corolla, Dr. Smith thinks may be called a Calyptra, as in 
mosses; but if you think proper to call it by any new name, and will give me 
leave, I shall most gladly adopt it.* I should be much gratified by information 
of this kinil from you, or any other observations relative to J ungermannice, which 
I will not fail, thankfully, to acknowledge. 
Between Count Frampe, who may be detained longer in this country than he 
expects, and Sir George Mackenzie, who talks of accompanying him and pub- 
lishing an account of his voyage, it is probable that I shall be left behind. At 
any rate I am .at this time cjuite in uncertainty about going. If I do not go, I 
should very willingly make a little excursion to Teneriffe, or what would please 
me mucli better, to the Brasils. I do not at all see, however, that such a scheme 
is practicable, I should certainly wish, first of all, to finish my little History of 
the British Jungermanniae, and get an intended description of the foreign ones 
in some state of forwardness. 
I am ((uite vexed that I have not yet been able either to meet with a copy of 
•• h'lora Scandinavia ” or the “Traveller’s Guide ” to return you for those which I 
lost. I do not recollect whether it was the old edition of the “ Flora Lapj)onica ” 
or Ur. Smith’s I borrowed of you. but I have given a copy of each in charge to Mr. 
Leach who will deliver to you whichever it was of them.

The ])iil)licati()ii of Brown’s ‘‘ Prodroinus,”f which was the coping 
stone of the autlior’s work for tlie Admiralty on the plants of the 
“Investigator” expedition, took place in 1810, and Drvander died 
tluring the same year. Brown thereupon entered the service of Banks 
as librarian in place of Drvander, for whom he had had always a 
sincere regard. 
Banks died in 1820, but not before he had made provision for Brown, 
and thus for the continuity of the botanical work which for so many 
years had been carried on, in Banks’ house, with the aid of his celebrated 
herbarium and library. 
His will contained the following clauses : — 
I give and bequeath tinto my indefatigable and intelligent librarian, Robert 
Brown, Esq., an annuity of two hundred pounds ... I also give to the said 
Robert Brown the use and enjoyment during his life of my library, herbarium, 
manuscripts, drawings, copperplates engraved, and everything else that is con- 
tained in my collections . . . and after his decease then I give and bequeatli 
the same to the Trustees for the time being of the British Museum. 
He also left Brown (after Lady Banks’ death) the lease of his house 
in Soho Square.
