We are sorry to have to announce the death of Dr. and Pro- 
fessor Koch, of Erlangen, author of the ‘Synopsis Flore Germanice et 
Helvetice,’ and of many other useful and talented botanical disquisi- 
tions. His Memoir on the Umbellifere, published in 1824, in the 12th 
volume of the * Nova Acta Academiz Nat. Curios., contributed more 
towards fixing the limits of the genera on a true and firm basis than 
the works of all preceding writers on the subject; and his knowledge 
_of European plants was surpassed by few. 
{t is with much regret we announce the recent decease of John Nuttall, 
Esq., of Tithewer, in the county of Wicklow, Ireland. Although he wrote - 
nothing on the science of botany, usually so called, he was eminently 
successful as an arboriculturist, particularly in cultivating such 
Conifers as were adapted to the climate of Ireland. On his property- 
in Wicklow, he grew more species of Pinus than could be found on 
any other in the country. The trees are remarkable for their health 
and beauty, and among them is a splendid Abies Douglasii, from whose 
cones many seedlings have been raised. Mr. Nuttall’s knowledge 
. of indigenous botany was also extensive, and cultivated by him in 
common with his and our friend the late Dr. Taylor, of Kenmare, at 
a period when such pursuits were less followed in Ireland than they 
are at present.
