56 BOTANICAL INFORMATIOX, 



will engage to furnish particular families of either, if preferred. I believe 

 that about 3000 insects, or 1000 dried plants in a proper state of fruc- 

 tification, with a ticket indicating the locality and time of gathering, 

 and in all other respects complete and well preserved, will be considered 

 as a fair return for one yeai''s payment of each share. 



Finally it is my intention, if particularly desired, to make collections 

 of such living plants as can be transported by land from the interior of 

 Brazil, such as Orchidese and the like ; but as the expenses of transport 

 must naturally be very great, they cannot be covered by the above- 

 mentioned amount of the shares. The load of a mule will be two 

 cases of such plants, each of which will have to be paid at the rate of 

 dE30, besides freight from Eio Janeiro to Europe; one half of the sum 

 named to be paid in advance, the other on receipt of the case. 



In order that no time may be lost, I solicit that gentlemen intending 



to subscribe to the above scheme, will favour me with their orders on 



the subject, together with a remittance through the house of business 



of Messrs. Schmidt and Le Maire at Copenhagen, with instructions to 



pay the amount into my hands, when the time of my departure shall 



have been finally determined.

Intending subscribers are requested to state, — 1, their name and 

 address ; 2, number of shares desired ; 3, what description of collec- 

 tions is required, and 4, whether they wish to receive living plants.
