had the charge of the botanic garden at Cork, (in the - 
neighbourhood of which he discovered the Neottia viviparaand — 
Pinguicula grandiflora, &c.,) and who has been long located 
in the Swan River Colony. This extensive herbarium, con- 
taining many duplicates, was capable of forming several sets, 
which Mr Bentham kindly undertook to divide, and they were —— 
purchased by a few botanists, to whom the circumstance was — 
made known, for the benefit of Mr Drummond; and many of 
our readers will be glad to know that other collections are 
shortly expected to arrive from the same source. Nothing 
can exceed the beauty of a very large proportion of these 
plants, some idea of which may be formed by the coloured 
lithographic plates which accompany the Sketch now under 
consideration, where, on ten plates, are given eighteen 
species, many of them no less remarkable for their curious - 
structure than for the brilliancy of their colour. There are 
likewise some excellent wood-cuts, illustrative of certain 
Orchidaceous plants, -and one of Loudonia, a new genus of 
Haloragee? This work is a most valuable contribution to 
our knowledge of Australian botany.
