This is confirmed by the letters from Fr. Ehrhart to Linnaeus fil. at LINN. Ehrhart sent the first copy of the Supplement to Linnaeus fil. only on 8 Apr 1782, adding that the rest was waiting to be despatched. It seems unlikely that any distribution took place before that date, and perhaps even for some time afterwards because in July Ehrhart reports that the copies are still with him. The first review known to us appeared in NZgS on 31 Oct 1782; a preliminary note, evidently written before the actual publication, not citing correct details, appeared in NZgS of 17 Mai 1781. Manitz provides also a detailed discussion of the authorship of the new taxa in the *Suppl. pl.* – For further editions containing parts of the text see SO 3836-3838. *German transl*.: see J. J.
