Kön. Ges. Wiss. Göttingen 6: 89-138. 1856. Dr. Sleumer (personal communication) thinks that this reprint dates also from 1856 and that Pritzel's 1854 reference is in fact to the extract printed in the Nachr. Ges. Wiss. Göttingen of 17 Oct 1854 (Bot. Zeit. 12: 918. 29 Dec 1854). The *Systematische Bemerkungen* are first mentioned by Flora 38: 656. 7 Nov 1855 and the Bot. Zeit. 14: 64. 25 Jan 1856 as "ist neu erschienen, " and is reviewed by the Bot. Zeit. on 28 Mar 1856 (14: 227-228) but here too the date is given as "1854," obviously a quotation of the t.p. date. On the other hand it is not impossible that vol. 6 of the Abhandlungen was prepared over a number of years, or even published in instalments. Since the reprint is definitely dated 1854 this date has to be accepted in the absence of definite information to the contrary. The notes in Flora and the Bot. Zeit. could point at publication in 1855 but are not sufficient evidence. *Ref*.: BM 2: 738; PR 3596. ##### n.2179.
