*Copy*: U.–*Supplement 4* was also published as *Methodus nova muscorum* ad naturae normam melius instituta et muscologiae recentiorum accomodata. Gotha (A. Ukertum) 1819, Qu. (PR 1144). *Copy*: U. According to the publisher the *Methodus nova* was published on 18 Dec 1818 (Intelligenz Bl. Jena. Allg. Lit: Zeit. 15(103): 815. Dec 1818). The abbreviation *Mant. musc*, refers to the second title given in a reissue of 1822 (Leipzig, J. A. Barth, *copy*: Steere), entitled: *Muscologiae recentiorum supplementum pars IV seu Mantissa generum specierumque muscorum frondosornm universa*. – Reviews of supp.l 4: Beck's Repe\[fix\]torium. Feb 1819; Isis 1818(2): 1851-1856. Nov 1818 sic, with the date "1819."
See Margadant (MD) for many further details. – Bridel later cited the first three supplements as *Species muscorum*, a practice followed by the compilers of the *Index muscorum*. The full title of supplements 1-3 is *Muscologiae recentiorum supplementum seu species muscorum*.

##### n.757. Bryologia universa
**Title**
*Bryologia universa* seu systematica ad novam methodum dispositio, historia et descriptio omnium muscorum frondosorum hucusque cognitorum cum synonymia ex auctoribus probatissimis. Accedunt tabulae aeneae tredecim. Leipzig (Joh. Ambros. Barth) 1826-1827. 2 vols. Oct.
**Abbreviated title**: *Bryol. univ.*
**Notes**
*Vol. 1*(. ): \[i\*-ii\*j, \[1\]-746. 1826, possibly Jan-Mar (Linnaea Apr 1826), (2): \[i\]-xlvi, 747-856. 1827, ante 21 Nov (Flora 21 Nov 1827, Linnaea Oct-Dec 1827).
*Copy*: U.
*Vol. 2*: 1827, ante 21 Nov, p. \[i\], \[1\]-848, \[2 p. add. vol. 2\], \[2 p. add. vol. 1\], *pl. 1-10*, uncoloured, suppl. *pl. 1-3*, coloured engravings. *Copy*: U.
A publisher's announcement of the two, complete, volumes in the Arch. Apotheker-Vereins Nördl. Deutschl. 22 (2): 227. 1827 mentions issues on *Druckpapier, Velindruckpapier, Schreibpapier* and *Schweizer Velinpapier*. Although several questions remain unsolved, it now seems certain that the main part of volume 1 (not the preface, nor the supplement) was indeed published in the year stated on the title-page: 1826. (see also Flora 8: 288, 352. 1825).
Proofs for this are the reviews in Linnaea 1: 262-263. Apr 1826 (but see also MD p. 239) and in *Bijdr. Natuurk. Wetensch.*1 (ii) 1: 61. 1826; the counter-indications mentioned under TL (ed. 1) 146, also discussed by MD (p. 67), are perhaps to be explained by the fact that the preface and the supplement came out only in 1827. It is still unknown to what extent the main part of vol. 1 (pp. 1-746) was distributed in 1826 but both reviews of 1826 mention the 746 pp. (*Bijdr*.: "Lipsiae, 1826, 840, 746 p."); Schlechtendal's copy used for the review in Linnaea and the one for the 1826 *Bijdragen* are at the moment the only ones known to have been sent out that early.
In the absence of further definite proof to the contrary, however, the date 1826 should be accepted as that of effective publication.
For a complete collation see MD p. 65-67. This author did not encounter different paper qualitities (neither did we). He also points at the existence of various cancels and additions and emendations which apparently occur in different places in different volumes.
