Remarks | Reprinted from F. A. Campbell, A year in the New Hebrides. Appendix. Description: 30 pp. Date: "... preface is dated December 1873. Neither the volume to which this is appended, nor Mueller's piece itself, is dated. However, we know from a letter that Mueller wrote to Joseph Hooker on 1 December 1873 that he enclosed a copy of the Appendix, which is separately paginated and has a distinct 'title page' ... It appears that the distribution to Hooker, at least, makes the 'effective publication' date December 1873. It is likely that other copies were sent to other botanical correspondents in December, although Asa Gray's copy was enclosed with a letter of 1 January 1874, since the copies ' came by a few hours too late into my hands for being forwarded by last months mail'." |
