### Publications
##### n.2109. Histoire physique, naturelle et politique de Madagascar
**Title**
*Histoire physique, naturelle et politique de Madagascar* publiée par Alfred \[et Guillaume\] Grandidier. *Histoire naturelle des plantes*, volumes 28 \[= 33\], 30, 34, 35, 36, of the entire work, or tomes 1-6 "plantes" by H. E. Baillon (and later E. Drake del Castillo) and a separate tome \[39\] Mousses by F. Renauld and J. Cardot. Paris 1898-1905. Qu.
**Abbreviated title**: *Hist. phys. Madagascar*.
**Notes**
*Publ*.: H. E. Baillon was responsible for the scientific names on the plates published until his death in 1895. Many of them represent new species published in *Bull. Soc.*
*Linn. Paris* 1896.
E. Drake del Castillo later published a volume of text, vol. 30, "Tome I. – texte.-I. 1er partie. 50 "fascicule," 208 pp., dated 1902, but probably published early 1903 (*Nat. nov.* 25(6): 205, Mar 1903; rd. at BMNH 24 Feb 1903).
Volume 33, containing plates 1-130 was first issued with a title-page 'volume 28, tome 2, atlas 1,' 1886 which was cancelled in 1893 by a title page "volume 33, tome 3, atlas I. 1886." The entry in TL 426, ed. 1, line 2 of p. 177 should read vol. 34, tome 4, atlas 2 instead of vol. 33, tome 3 atlas 2. This title page is also a cancellans: the original title page read "volume 29 tome 3 atlas 2 1890." The two cancellans title pages were issued with livraison 34.
The text for vol. 39 Mousses (see also TL 1065) was published in 1915. Fascicle 59 (published 1913), containing further supplementary plates to volumes 30, 33-36, probably contained the plates 245A, 248A, 250A, 252A, 254A-D, 292B-C, 293A, 294A-C. This, however, needs confirmation. The lithographed plates are numbered 1-504 with additional plates numbered 11 A, 16A, 23A, 24A-D, etc. Plate 501 was never published. Plate 793 (labelled *Adansonia madagascariensis*) issued in 1889, was cancelled in 1893 and replaced by a revised plate showing 3 Adansonia species. The copy at PHIL is bound with the original covers, presumably in the original order of appearance.

Author designations: B: Baillon; C: Cardot; D: Drake del Castillo; R: Renauld. – The PHIL copy has in fasc. 49: tt. 458-481, 54: tt. 482-504. It also has a fasc. 59 dated 1913 with the annotation: "all supplementary plates were in this part." – Part 3 of vol. 39, Mousses, Atlas has the name of Drake del Castillo on the wrapper; this was an error.
