[Continued from page 367 of the 3d Volume, of the Ist Series of this Work.] 
Some additions to our South American Collections, of 
Which we have become possessed since we published our 
last Memoir on this subject, have been mentioned at p. 175, 
and following pages of the present volume. Mr. Tweedie 
having extended his researches on the Atlantic side of that 
vast continent, from the Plata, along the coast, to St. 
Catharine, South Brazil, in S. lat. 27° 10', we shall 
include these plants in the present division of our subject, 
reserving, however, all the TAalamiflore and Calyciftore 
before Composite, for a supplementary paper. The Order 
last mentioned should have come next in course, and have 
formed the commencement of the present article: but as 
Professor De Candolle is preparing a History of this vast 
Order for his ** Prodromus" at this very time, and as Mr. 
David Don is especially engaged on the South American 
Genera of this family, and has kindly undertaken the ex- 
amination of Dr. Gillies’ and our own collections, we have 
thought it better to wait that we might take advantage of 
their important labours, and render this part of our contri- 
butions more valuable to the botanist.
