241 (1802-21). 
The author considers that a genus consists of but one species 
necessarily, viz. its type ; and is therefore not defined by variable 
characters, but by knowledge of type species ; hence, that genera 
proposed in catalogues on previously described spp. are entitled 
to priority. He points out many errors in dates. The present 
portions conclude with the genera of Dejean and his contempo- 
raries, and the author hopes in a third part to carry the work 
down to the commencement of the ^ Berichte ^ in 1836.
