PBEFACE.
A FEW words of explanation as to the object and scope of this
Index may fitly appear as an introduction to the work.
It is intended mainly as a guide to further information, and
not as a bibUography or biography. We have been liberal in
including all who have in any way contributed to the literature
of Botany, who have made scientific collections of plants, or have
otherwise assisted directly in the progress of Botany, exclusive
of pure Horticulture. We have not, as a rule, included those
who were merely patrons of workers, or those known only as
contributing small details to a local Flora.
Where known, the name is followed by the years of birth, and
death, which, when uncertain, are marked with a ? or c. {circa) ;
or merely approximate dates of ** flourishing ** are given... Then
follows the place and day of birth and death, and the place of
burial ; a brief indication of social position or occupation, espe-
cially in the cases of artisan botaAistsf and of professional
collectors; chief university degrees, or other titles or ofl&ces^held,
and dates of election to the linnean and Eoyal Societies. A
reference is then generally made to some botanical work or .works
justifying the inclusion of the name in the list, and terse encomia
by eminent botanists are occasionally quoted. The present where-
abouts of correspondence or MSB,, and the existence of any
herbarium or of plants collected, are next noted. Eeference is
then given to the chief sources of further information. Here,
Pulteney's * Sketches of the Progress of Botany * (1790), Bees'
Cyclopaedia (1819-20), in which many of the biographies were
written by Sir J. E. Smith, Pritzel's* Thesaurus literatur©
Botanic?B * . (1872), Jackson's 'Guide to Literature of Botany'
(1881), apd tjie Eoyal Society's Catalogue of Scientific Papers
(vols, i.-ix.), are first quoted.; then the fullest known record is
given; and, lastly, a reference to the * Dictionary of Na^tional
Biography * (vols, i.-xxxiii.), so far as issued to the end of 1892.
Mention is then made of any portrait, original or engraved, of any
genus dedicated to the botanist in question, or, failing any such
4003"^^

genus, of a species. Where a name occurs on many pages of Mr.
Jackson's work, our reference is to the index of that work.
Although our information is largely derived from printed
sources, it is also the result of private letters of inquiry; and
where we differ from the various published biographies, it by no
means indicates that we have not consulted them, or that we are
necessarily wrong.
Most of our abbreviations are so generally used as to require no
explanation, though we are conscious that, in this and in other
points, we have not always followed a uniform usage. PL for
plants, Fl. for Flora, and Herb, for Herbarium need no glossary.
The work originated in the want felt by the compilers of some
reference-list of byegone workers in Botany. After several years
of preparation, we thought it sufficiently advanced for publication
at the beginning of 1888, and from that date down to the end of
1891 it appeared almost continuously month by month In the
Journal of Botany (vols, xxvi.-xxix.). During its appearance we
received many gratifying letters of approval and encouragement
from botanists of eminence in all parts of the world, and much
valuable supplementary information. No one can be more fully
aware than we are of the numerous imperfections in our records.
Such a work must of necessity contain errors both of commission
and of omission, and few who consult it can form an adequate
opinion of the labour involved in collecting information which,
when set down, may appear of the most meagre character. Our
plan somewhat extended itself as the serial issue of our work
proceeded, and this, coupled with such corrections as reached 'Us,
has necessitated a more complete re-editing of the entire Index
than we anticipated. This has occupied us for more than a year,
and enabled us to bring down our record to the end of 1892.
The extent of this revision may be gauged from the facta that,
whereas the issue in the Journal of Botany comprised 1^619
names, occupying 148 pages, an average of over ten names to the
page, in its present form our little book contains 1,825 nameis,
and occupies 188 pages, an average of less than ten nsmes to
the page.
The following is a list, with abbreviated titles, of ^ob efaief
sources of information which are quoted by some abforeviatiofi.
It probably does not include a tithe of the works actually eon-
suited, many of which are referred to under titles so Ktfcle
shortened as to require no explanation.
