##### n.1399. Plantes cryptogames du Nord de la France
**Title**
*Plantes cryptogames du Nord de la France*. Lille 1825-1851, 44 fasc, plus index volume. Qu.
**Abbreviated title**: *Pl. crypt. N. France*.
**Notes**
*Publ*.: An important series of exsiccatae accompanied by text. The dates below, given by Margadant, may in some cases be too early because there is evidence that the title-pages were sometimes preprinted. "This large series of exsiccata has some pecularities which warrant careful research. The title-page setting was used for quite a number of fascicles, possibly printed in advance. In several cases the changed numerals (e.g. the last digit of the year) clearly stand apart in a number of volumes, and the position of broken letters indicate the same type setting. In some others the digit is even not printed but filled out by hand. This indicates that these title-pages were printed so far ahead of publication that there was no reasonable certainty about the year. There fore, a chance exists, that of other fascicles with completely printed year numbers the date is too early." – From fasc. 17 on the title was *Plantes cryptogames de France*. A second edition (37 fascicles) was published in Lille, 1836-1851. Sixteen further fascicles (ed. 2 ser. 2 or ed. 3?) appeared between 1853 and 1861. The series are in many herbaria e.g. BM, FH, G, K, NY, TC. (see IH).
