accomplishment of his wishes. But as the Botanical harvest 

 commences in that country at the Autumnal Equinox, the 

 journey ought to begin in September of the present year, 

 and the traveller must, previous to that period, be supplied

 riches and peculiarities of whose vegetable productions may 

 be estimated by the Flora Atlantica of Desfontaines, two tra- 

 vellers ought, if possible, to be sent, that the labour may be 

 proportionably diminished : and we calculate their expenses at 

 from 3000 to 4000 florins." 



Those who wish to encourage this undertaking are re- 

 quested to transmit their names and the number of shares 

 they desire, before the month of June; and the subscriptions 

 must be sent in before August. Each individual must contri- 

 bute at least to the value of two shares. 



As soon as it is ascertained that the number of subscribers 

 is suiRcient to warrant the sending collectors to Algiers, in- 

 formation to that effect will immediately be transmitted to the 

 Members. Mr. Hunneman will, we believe, still kindly 

 undertake to receive subscriptions for this and the other 

 departments of the Unio Itineraria.
