144 PROCEEDINGS OF THE AMERICAN ACADEMY 



Charles Gaudichaud, as botanist of the expedition under Frey- 

 cinet, in the Corvettes "Uranie " and " Physicienne," visited the Islands 

 in August, 1819. He returned to the Islands on the "Bonite" in 

 1836. The results of his first expedition were published as the Bota- 

 nique du Voyage de V Uranie, in 1826 (as on title-page, but really not 

 appearing till 1830), in 1 vol. 4to, with a folio atlas. Of the collec- 

 tions of the second visit a few plates of Hawaian plants appeared in a 

 folio atlas (Bot. Voy. Bonite, bearing no date), without descriptions, or 

 any clew to localities. The lower Cryptogams were elaborated and in 

 part figured by the late Dr. Montagne in the same work. 



James Macrae collected for the London Horticultural Society, 

 in Brazil, Chili, and the Hawaian Islands, which last he visited in 

 1825. His specimens were mainly distributed to the herbaria of 

 Bentham, Hooker, Lindley, and De Candolle. 



Messrs. Lay & Collie, who accompanied Captain Beechey during 

 the Voyage of the "Blossom," visited the Islands in 1826-1827, and 

 made the collections which formed the basis of the botany of this voy- 

 age by Hooker and Arnott. 



Francis Julius Ferdinand Meten accompanied Captain W. 

 Wendt, on the Prussian vessel " Princess Louise," and visited these 

 islands in 1831. After his death, descriptions of species collected by 

 him were published as a volume of the Nov. Act. Acad. Cres. Leop.- 

 Carol. Nat. Cur., in 1843, here cited as the Reliquiae. Meyeniance. 



David Douglas, as collector sent out by the London Horticul- 

 tural Society to N. W. America, closed his most important explora- 

 tions by a visit to the Hawaian Islands, which he reached in the last 

 week in the year 1833. He immediately went to Hawaii, where he 

 collected until the 12th of May, when he met a violent death on the 

 flanks of Mauna Kea. His collections are mainly in the herbaria 

 of the Royal Horticultural Society, and of Hooker, Bentham, and 

 Lindley. 



Barclay was botanist on the " Sulphur," commanded by Sir Ed- 

 ward Belcher, and visited the Islands in 1837 or 1839. 



Rev. John Diell was American Seaman's Chaplain at Honolulu, 

 and sent small collections to Prof. Asa Gray, which he communicated 

 to Sir W. J. Hooker. 



W. D. Brackenridge and Charles Pickering made almost all 

 the botanical collections on the United States South Pacific Exploring 

 Expedition, under command of Charles Wilkes, at least those at the
