General

58 A green covered notebook comprising his list of plants and animals, numbered consecutively, of a collection preserved in the cabinet of the Académie, and of which no other record is known to us. Adanson added dates after many of the names, presumably those of their collection, and which range from 1736 to 1748, but mainly 1746 to 1747.
