30 BOTANICAL INFORMATION. 
WILLKOMM’S proposed Botanical Journey into Spain. 
By the death of my lamented father on the 14th of September of 
this year, and family affairs resulting from it, I have been forced to desist 
from the execution of my scheme for a scientific tour through Spain 
and Portugalin the autumn of the current year, as detailed in my 
prospectus issued on the Ist of July. But I do not intend to relinquish 
my plan; lam, on the contrary, the more intent on its execution, as I 
am enabled, by the inheritance left to me by my late father, to perform 
. the tour partly with my own means. "Therefore I have now irrevocably 
fixed the term of my departure in April of the ensuing year, and intend 
to visit at first the north-eastern parts of Spain. The plan, as 
developed by me in the printed prospectus, will be kept constantly in 
view, though slightly altered in the order of the successive stages of 
the journey, in regard to the inverted order of the seasons. All who 
may intend to take part in the results of my journey will please to 
address themselves, post paid, before the 1st of April, to me (Leipzig, 
Plauenscher Platz, No. 1), and after this date to Mr. Bernhard Auers- 
wald, teacher at the ** Erste Dürgerschule" (Peterstrasse, No. 7). The 
English subscribers will receive the collections directly from Spain by 
the steamers of the Peninsular Company. The first series, containing 
the plants of eastern, northern, and north-western Spain, and the north 
of Portugal, will arrive in England in December 1850, at latest. It is 
to be hoped that on receiving their parcels the subscribers will not 
defer to pay the amount of their subscription in full, or at least the 
half of it; as only under this condition am I enabled to execute the 
tour sketched out, so completely as it is desirable for the interests of 
science and of the subscribers themselves. The instalments I beg may 
be remitted in good bills to Mr. Charles Unthoff, Saxon Consul at 
Cadiz.
