TRA.ITE DE LA CULTURE PARFAITE DE L'OREILLE D'OURS 
Traits de la culture parfaite de I'oreille d'ours ou 
aurioule* Par un curieux de province. Bruxelles, H, 
Fricx, 1732. 136 p. (Bib. Nat. Paris) 
Cat. Bib. Nat. 65:633, enters under Gudnin, 
saying the work is signed: "IngSnu." Pritzel, 
1st ed., no.ll707, explains the latter as an 
anagramme of Gu^nin, while Barbier, Diet. Ouvr. 
Anon. 4:755, says "Un curieux de province” rep¬ 
resents Gu4nin, Direoteur des Aides d’Amiens. 
It seems likely that Gibault, Jour. Soc. Nat. 
Hort. France (1905), p.734, was not personally 
familiar with this book, as he gives the author 
as "Guerin ou Gu4nin^" and Paris as the place 
of publication for the original edition. Gud- 
rin is also given as the author by Lelong, Bib. 
Hist. France, 2. 4d., 1:200, but this is prob¬ 
ably an inaccurate entry, and this name seems 
likely to have come from a typographical error. 
Payne, Florist’s Bib. (1908), p.l9, gives the 
work under Gu^nin, listing the original issue 
of 1732, and that of 1738. Both Lindley Lib. 
and Mass. Hort. Soc. enter under Gu4nin, whose 
authorship seems to be fairly well established 
by the authority of Barbier and Pritzel. 
The copy of the let ed. in Bib. Nat. Paris 
is described as "Aveo notes mss. de M. I'abb6 
Lenglet Dtd*resnoy."

1’auteur. Bruxelles, H. Frikx, Imprimeur, 1735. 237 p. 
(Dept. Agr.; Lindley Lib.) 
Lelong, Bib. Hist., 2. 4d., 1:200, gives an 
entry with title identical with the above, end 
imprint, Bruxelles, Frikx, 1745; but it seems 
likely that this date is incorrect rather than 
that it represents a distinct issue.

This has not been compared with earlier edi¬ 
tions to find whether the text is the same*
