Mr. Hibbert, who for many years possessed. the most extensive 
collection of living Proteas that has ever been formed, -and 
who also received from his intelligent collector Mr. Niven, a va- 
luable Herbarium of native specimens, most obligingly permitted 
me to examine-these; and even, to dissect such as were new. . For 
the like privilege I am indebted to the friendship of Mr. Aiton 
of Kew, who sent. me his whole collection, peculiarly valuable 
as containing many of the original specimens of Mr. Masson : 
and lastly, I have to acknowledge the great assistance I have 
derived from the extensive collection presented to this Society 
by my friend Dr. Roxburgh, who during his short. residence at 
the Cape appears to have paid particular attention to this tribe 
of plants, and who, besides the many new species discovered by 
him, has given a greater value to. his H erbarium by numerous 
observations on the sexes, the size, and places of growth, whic 
I have every where inserted on his autlietityx.- oii dondoi pas!Y
