Appendix A . xcix 
vol. iv (1821) contains 151 plates with rarely either an artist’s or 
engraver’s signature ; most, if not all, of them are from drawings 
by my father. Vol. v (1828) contains seventy-two plates; all 
(except five of the Algae and Fungi signed R. K. Greville) were, 
I believe, by my father, and, like those of vol. iv, are recognizable 
as such by the drawings and analyses, and in the case of vol. v by 
many of them bearing the name of the well-known Glasgow en- 
graver Swan, who engraved also for the ‘ Botanical Magazine ’ and 
for other of my father’s publications. The descriptions throughout 
the five volumes were, except those of the plates signed R. K. 
Greville, I believe all written, enlarged, or rewritten by my 
father ; but his name appears nowhere except on the title-pages 
of vols. iv and v, on which are inserted the words ‘ the Botanical 
descriptions arranged and corrected by W. J. Hooker,’ words 
which apply to the preceding four volumes, as may be seen from 
a comparison of the two editions. Anpther anomaly in vols. iv and 
v is, that in their Indices but not on their title-pages they are entitled 
4 New Series.’ To conclude, this rare and beautiful work was 
produced at great cost under financial embarrassment of the 
Editor (Mr. Graves), and its end is probably unique in the 
history of botanical works, — Chancery ! under which I may add 
that the real author could hardly have been a beneficiary. 
1828- 31. leones Filieum. Figures and Descriptions of Ferns, 
principally of such as have been altogether unnoticed by botanists, 
or as have not yet been correctly figured, by R. K. Greville and 
W. J. Hooker. Two vols. folio, with 240 coloured plates, 
all by R. K. G. The descriptions all by W. J. H. Dedicated 
to Dr. Wallich, Superintendent of the Honourable East India 
Company’s Botanical Garden, Calcutta. The authors announce 
in the Preface that they contemplate a work to be called ‘ Filices 
Asiaticae,’ of the size and plan of Wallich’s ‘ Plantae Asiaticae 
Rariores,’ which was never proceeded with. 
1829- 40. Flora Boreali Americana, two vols. 4to, with 138 
uncoloured plates, 126 from drawings by the author. The work 
is founded chiefly on the collections made by Richardson and 
Drummond during Franklin’s first Expedition to the Polar seas, 
by David Douglas and Mr. Tolmie in North-West America, and 
by Mr. Goldie in Canada. Including the Ferns and their allies
