Another idea that fasci- nated these worthy plant-lovers was that of the barnacle goose tree. Fig. 1040 is reproduced from a book by Duret, 1605, and shows how the fruits that fall upon dry land become 'Hying birds,' while those that fall into the water become 'swimming fishes.' Other conceptions of this goose tree are reproduced in the Gardeners' Magazine 35:749 (1S'.)2). Almost every large li- brary possesses a few Herbals, as Matthiolus, Bauhin, L'Obel and Fuehslus.
