Voyage to St. Thomas, St. Kits, Antigua, &c. 
Letter translated from the German, in the Regenburg Flora.” | 
T sea voyage affords me leisure for drawing up a slight 
report of my visit to the West India Islands of St. Thomas, - 
Ste. Croix, St. Jean, St. Kitt's, and Antigua. My missionary 
labours consuming the greatest portion of my time, I have, 
of course, not much leisure for botany ; still something 
was done; my wife being. as usual, a true helpmate tome; —— 
and I shall feel happy to share with my friends, as far as my 
stock allows it, the plants that we have preserved. : 
After a somewhat stormy passage, it was naturally delight- - j 
ful to sail so close along the Islands of St. Kitt’s, Nevis, and 
others, that we could distinguish their palm-trees : our hap- E 
piness was still greater, when we dropped anchor, on the — 
. 18th December, 1840, in the port of St. Thomas. ‘The fine — 
= and lofty mountains shone in superb verdure, the handsome 
_ and cheerful turf spread before us on three hills, and when 
stepping on shore, each flower and grass was new to me. 
Musk, which is an ornament to our green-houses, grew along — 
the roadside as weeds. The Cocoa Palm lines the high- — 
ways, and the Sugar-cane is substituted in the fields for our 
corn. Every thing was different, and yet hardly strange €:
