XIlIL. Journal of a Tour in Ceylon; by Mrs CorowrL 
WALKER. de 
(Our readers may recollect that the first article in the 
** Companion to the Botanical Magazine,” was an account of 
the ascent of Adam's Peak in Ceylon, from the pen of the 
same accomplished lady. During every excursion of this 
kind, both Colonel and Mrs Walker, have been indefatigable 
in collecting the vegetable productions of this rich and fertile 
. island; and we trust ere long to have itin our power to make 
~ known many, if not all, of these interesting discoveries, which - 
have been so liberally communicated to us.—W. J. H.). — —
