Expedition to Sicily and the neighbouring Abruzzos. 
Messrs. Huet du Pavillon, of Geneva, known to the Botanists as able 
collectors of Plants, will visit during this spring and summer these in- 
teresting parts, with the intention of collecting specimens of their rarer 
species. They undertake this tour on subscription. Friends of Botany, 
who are willing to promote this undertaking, and to share of its results, 
are requested to subscribe by a payment of 50 francs (£2 sterling), 
which can be paid for my account to Charles Young, Esq., 8, High 
Street, Islington, who will furnish to subscribers two quittances, one of 
which the subscriber will please to remit to me. The advantages of 
subseription are a right to a more complete collection and to a lower 
price, viz. at 16s. sterling per 100. If desired, these and other plants, 
which should be ordered, can be delivered free of freight, etc., in Lon- 
don at a moderate rate. Letters post-paid.
