xiv. Botanical Travels. This chapter, together with the 
information already given when speaking of the travellers who 
have contributed to M. Delessert’s herbarium, is intended by 
the author to complete the account of travels in general which 
have promoted the cause of botany. They are arranged 
according to countries, and include a great deal of valuable 
information, which cannot have been collected without much 
labour. 
* The mere catalogue of the names of persons who have contributed 
to enrich an Herbarium from different countries, even when most accu- 
rately stated, can, we are aware, convey but an imperfect idea ofthe actual 
extent or value of a collection. In describing the British Herbaria, M. 
Lasègue has, however, made some very important, but, assuredly, acci- 
dental omissions, Under the head of “ Brazil,” for example, in the 
mention of Sir W. J, Hooker's Museum, the almost unrivalled collections 
of Mr, Gardner, those from the Imperial Museum of Vienna, from Dr. 
Martius, from Saltzmann, those purchased from Moricand, (including 
those of Blanchet and Vautier), and the very extensive ones from Claussen, 
&c., &c., are unrecorded.— [Ep.] à
