An unfinished paper for the Académie on the properties of Algae, of which an earlier draft was
written on the same leaf with a copy of a letter to Bonaventure Corti dated 10 July 1775. It
contains Adanson’s opinion that “revival” of the Tremella is not a “revivification” but a
germination from detached parts, comparable to that from seeds.

color plates, identifying them as guard-leaves from a copy of Knoop, Fructologie.

at the Académie was read 6 February 1779. Much or all of this very critical manuscript was
written by Adanson within a week of the session. Yet the book as a whole (especially the
Approbation) could not have been ready at that time; the accompanying clipping, dated 28 Mars
1779, states that Lamarck presented a copy to the king and queen on 21 March.

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
