received further intelligenee from Dr Steudel respecting Mr Schimper's 
Abyssinian Collections, namely, that one half of them, in 16 cases, were 
(on the 4th Dec. last,) actually on their passage from Alexandria to 
"Trieste, and it is expected they will be ready for distribution early in the 
present year, (1840.) Dr Steudel recommends that those subscribers who 
have not already done so, should advance a deposit of not less than 90 
florins, (£9 9s. sterling,) on such portions of the collections as they may - 
wish to take; and that those who desire to secure one entire share, 1500 
to 2000 species, say at 15 florins per century, amounting to 300 florins, 
. should advance not less than 180 florins (£18 18s. sterling.) He also — 
invites subscribers for the seeds Mr Schimper has collected in pe iuo due 
and offers collections of 100 species for 20 florins, or £2 2s. sterling. cb
