Notes of a BorAN1cAL Tour in the WESTERN AZORES. By 
Hewerr C. Warson, Esq. (Continued from page 9 of 
the present volume.) | 
Ix a former communication, I gave a hasty sketch of my 
Passages to and from the Azores, and first impressions of 
Azorean botany. Since that letter was written, my collec- 
tion of specimens has reached England. The species of 
ering Plants and Ferns amount to three hundred and 
fifty; and notwithstanding this limited number of species, 
for Islands in the latitude of Portugal and Greece, I am dis- 
Posed to believe that the collection will afford a fair approxi- 
mation towards a Flora, not only of the more westerly isles 
on which the plants were gathered, but even of the entire 
Sroup. This opinion is founded in part on the similarity of 
Species seen in the different islands visited by myself; in 
Part, also, on the resemblance between the species gathered 
by myself and a set of Azorean plants in the possession of 
Sir W, J. Hooker, who received them from Mr. Guthnic.* - 
The latter collection was formed in the islands of St. Michael, : 
Terceira, Fayal and Pico; mine, in the islands of Flores, 
Corvo, Fayal and Pico : the two, united, represent the botany 
Of six islands, out of a group of nine islands in the whole; 
and the number of distinct species in both collections to- 
Sether amounts to about three hundred. and seventy. It is 
highly probable, however, that Sir W. J. Hooker’s set of 
Specimens does not include all the species collected by 
Guthnic and his companion Hochstetter. Terceira, ap- 
parently, has supplied most of the twenty kinds of plants m 
re e name was erroneously printed Guthrie in the early portion of this 
icle, ! | Sn aioft
