[4] Admirably engraved by Mr. Burgess, from my pen drawing, now at Oxford.

[5] "Histoire des Plantes." Ed. 1865, p. 416.
[6] The like of it I have now painted, Number 281, Case xii., in the Educational Series of Oxford.

[9] American,—'System of Botany,' the best technical book I have.
[10] 'Dicranum cerviculatum,' sequel to Flora Danica, Tab. MMCCX.
