Islands, of Tierra del Fuego, and of all the south circumpolar 
regions, Amongst other novelties will be included accounts

Horn, and many productions of great botanical interest. 
In addition to the extensive collections made by the officers 
of the Erebus and Terror, during three years spent in high 
southern latitudes, the still unpublished Herbaria formed by 
Sir Joseph Banks, Forster and Solander in Cook’s Voyage, 
and Menzies in that of Vancouver, all deposited in the 
British Museum, are placed at the author’s disposal by the

important addition to the extra-tropical botany of the South- 
ern Hemisphere.
