2. Charles de Lecluse, 1526-1609. 
3. Carl Linne (usually called by the Latin name, Carolus Linnaeus), 
a Swedish naturalist (1 7 ° 7 “ 7 ^)> proposed new systems of classification in 
zoology and botany and was the author of many botanical works. 
4. Antoine Laurent de Jussieu (1748-1836) was a professor of bot¬ 
any at the Paris Botanical Gardens. His Genera Plantarum (1789) laid 
down the principles upon which modern botanical classification is based. 
5. Jean Baptiste Pierre Antoine de Monnet, Chevalier de Lamarck, 
French naturalist (1744-1829). 
6. The records of the first two years and the collections of natural his¬ 
tory were sent overland from Kamchatka. From the manuscripts which 
were saved, four volumes (and an atlas) were published in Paris in 1797 
under the title, Voyage de La Perouse autour du monde ) fublie conforme- 
ment au decret du 22 Avril 1791, et redige par M.L. A. Milet-Mureau. 
Numerous editions have been issued in English and other languages. The 
one used in connection with this paper is that published in London in three 
volumes in 1807. 
In 1937 Le voyage de Laperouse sur les cotes de VAlaska et de la Cali¬ 
fornia (1786), with an introduction and notes by Gilbert Chinard, was 
published in Baltimore by the Johns Hopkins Press. In looking over the 
part relating to Monterey in this volume, I was especially interested in the 
identity of the plants noted by M. Collignon (on p. 106). My determina¬ 
tions in regard to them are as follows: 
L’absinthe maritime, Artemisia pycnosephala DC. 
L’armoise, Artemisia heterophylla Nutt. 
Le grand absinthe, probably Artemisia calif ornica Less. 
L’aurone male, perhaps Artemisia ludoviciana Nutt. (This was the 
identification of the white-downy artemisia related to A. heterophylla of 
Asa Gray in the Synoptical Flora of North America.') 
La. verge d’or du Canada, Solidago calif ornica Nutt. Goldenrod. 
L’aster (oeil de christ), probably Aster chilensis Nees. 
La morelle a fruit noir, Solanum Douglasii Dunal. Nightshade. 
La perce-pierre (criste-marine), Salicornia ambigua Michx. Samphire.
