Plumier's figures consist of little more than outlines, but being as large as nature, and well drawn by himself, produce a fine effect. Many hundred of his drawings remain still unpublished in the library of the Jardin des Plantes at Paris. Copies of many of these were obtained by the Earl of Bute, which afterwards passed into the hands of Sir Joseph Banks. Boerhaave had previously obtained copies of above 500, most of which were published by Burmann, in 1755-60. In 1824 the compiler of this work met with copies of about 500, very well executed, and a мs. volume of descriptions, which are now in the possession of A. B. Lambert, Esq. Vice President of the Linnæan Society.
