BOTANICAL INFORMATION. 
Dear or M. BENJAMIN DELESSERT. 
We have the melancholy task of announcing the 
recent death, in Paris, of the great Mecænas of Natural 
History, and especially of Botany, M. ze BARON 
BenjaMin Devesserr, which took place at his hotel 
in that city on Monday the 8th of this month. His 
loss will be severely felt throughout the scientific 
world; while to his own family and friends, to whom 
he was endeared by the most amiable manners and the 
most generous disposition, it will be irreparable. 1t 
is some consolation to know that he has made provision 
for the maintenance of his vast Herbarium and Li- 
brary, so that they will be still available, as heretofore, : 
to the public good. d
