Several typographical and other errors having been observed, in different parts of our work, we
shall here correct such as would be likely to mislead the reader. These errors have mostly occurred
in the Catalogue of Plants, in consequence of some additions made to the manuscript after it left tho
hands of the author, and of our being obliged to commence working it off before proof-sheets were re-
turned with the author's corrections. These proofs were however received in season to correct most of
the errors in our list, in the greater part of the edition.
