The dates in the book, given with the signature, are evidently not always the dates of issue. Manitz's dates are confirmed by the dates of receipt of the fascicles by The Linnean Society: 1: 15 Aug 1832; 4: 16 Jun 1834; 5: 29 Jul 1834; 7: 16 Jun 1835; 8: 25 Feb 1836. Flora (16: 763) also states that part 2 was published in June 1833. On the basis of all these data the dates given by Manitz are obviously correct; the date of publication of part 8 can be put at Feb 1836. *Ref*.: BM 1: 136; Jackson p. 134; Kew 1: 217; Langman p. 128; MW p. 40; PR 615; IDC 33. - Anon., Flora 15(2).

(in twos) **Abbreviated title**: *Bot. voy. Sulphur*. **Notes** *Publ*.: The following list of contents and dates of the six parts in which Bentham's "The botany of the voyage of H.M.S. Sulphur, under the command of captain Sir Edward Belcher... during the years 1836-1842" was published is based upon a copy in original wrappers at Utrecht. Stearn supplied the dates of receipt of the various parts by the Linnean Society of London. These dates of receipt are listed here and can be taken to be very close to the actual date of publication or availability to the general public; they are confirmed by the reviews in W. J. Hooker's London Journal of Botany and by the dates for which the parts were announced on p. 4 of the cover. |part |pages |*plates* |dates of receipt| |--- |--- |--- |--- | |1 |\[i\], 1-16 |1-10 |16 January 1844| |2 |17-48 |11-20 |2 April 1844| |3 |49-72 |21-30 |16 August 1844| |4 |73-96 |31-40 |26 October 1844| |5 |97-144 |41-50 |14 April 1845| |6 |145-195 |51-60 |8 May 1846| An ample description of the voyage itself is given by Sir Edward Belcher himself in his Narrative of 1843. This book contains, in the appendix to volume 2, a chapter called "The regions of vegetation: being an analysis of the distribution of vegetable forms over the surface of the globe in connection with climate and physical agents." Richard Brinsley Hinds (1812-1847) was the surgeon to the expedition and is listed on the title-page of the Botany as having edited and superintended its publication with "The botanical descriptions by G. Bentham." It is clear that for botanical purposes the book must be ascribed to Bentham. Hinds himself published only on the Mollusks of the expedition. An autograph manuscript by George W. Barclay "Journal of a voyage round the world in 1836-1841" (3 volumes, Quarto) is preserved in the Botanical Department of the British Museum (Natural History). Barclay was a Kew gardener and collector. Captain Sir Edward Belcher (1799-1877) was a professional navy-officer who went on several exploratory missions between 1830 and 1847. He was made an admiral in 1872. The original collections (made by Barclay and Hinds), on which Bentham's descriptions are based, are at the British Museum (Natural History) (BM); duplicate sets are at CGE, K, LE, MO, NY and U. The illustrations are lithographs of drawings by Miss S. A. Drake, "of Turnham Green," a botanical artist who illustrated also Lindley's *Sertum orchidaceum* and who contributed drawings to the *Botanical Register* and Bateman's *Orchidaceae of Mexico and Guatemala.* Miss Drake was a relative of Mrs. Lindley and a member of Lindley's household (cf. Gray 1893). *Copy*: U (orig. covers). *Facsimile ed*.: Lehre (J.
