NOTICE TO THE MEMBERS OF THE 
UNIO ITINERIA. 
As the distribution of the specimens of plants collected last - 
year in the western and upper Pyrenées, and in the depart- 
ment des Landes, is now so far advanced as to allow the 
shares to be despatched in the space of about three weeks,

been painfully saddened by his death, which took place after 
the termination of his journey. Happy and in perfect health 
had our friend Endress, after having performed his task, 
returned in the middle of November, as far as Paris, where 
he enjoyed during a fornight the hospitality of M. Gay, who, 
as member of the Unio, takes so lively an interest in its 
promotion, But leaving Paris in very unfavourable weather, 
and arriving at Strasburg, he fell ill at that place, and died, 
in consequence of an inflammatory fever, on the 9th day, 
(Dec. 9,) notwithstanding that Professor Nestler of that 
place took every care that neither medical assistance 1 nor any : 
necessary comfort should be wanting. 
This sad occurrence; in which all members of the Unio
