£2. 6s. Sd. — £2. 145. lOd. From a part of Abyssinia, which was 

 hitherto unexplored, and of a character quite different from those 

 known ah-eady. Almost all the species have not yet been distributed 

 in Mr. Schimper's collections. A catalogue of them will he found in 

 the German botanical gazettes.

Hitherto we believe the original tree of the Chili Pine, introduced

 the Dean of Winchester, informs us that his beautiful tree at Bishop's 

 Stoke, thirty years old and twenty feet high, is now bearing a cone 

 from one of the topmost branches ; and further that, at Eicton, the 

 seat of Lady Rolle, one tree is shoMdng cones and another female 

 flowers.

 and Ophioglossacets ; omitting Lyeopodiacece, Equisetacece , and Marsi-
