FIRST RECORDS OF BRITISH FLOWERING PLANTS. are made : — Minuartia hispanica is M. dichotoma, and two species are added, M. campestris and M. montana. The genus Guerezia is changed into Queria." "Pp. 259, 260, like pp. 89, 90, were cancelled. In the pages which replaced them the following changes are made : — Between Charophylliim and Seseli the genus Imperatoria is introduced. The only species given is /. Ostruthium. And on p. 260 Seseli elatius is omitted." [The view on which Herr von Flatt lays stress — that it was while printing sheet R that Linnaeus introduced his amended leaf, pp. 89, 90 — is, I am sure, quite erroneous. No printer would dream of mutilating a sheet by putting in a cancel. If the volume be referred to, the two leaves spoken of by Mr. Carruthers will be found to be more heavily inked, showing that they formed no part of any ordinary sheet, but were printed solely by themselves for substitution. In Herr von Flatt's copy the binder has made a sad bungle, which need not be set out in detail here ; if he will look at his copy again, he will probably see the pasted portion is visible on p. 259, though not on p. 270, hence his mistake in assuming that the corrected page formed an integral part of the sheet. — B.
