NOTE. 



We are reminded by an advertisement upon the Wrapper of the present 

 Number of the Botanical Register, that the collection of plants formed by 

 the late Mr. Robert Barclay is about to be sold by auction on the 9th and 

 10th of August. While we lament, in common with all Botanists, that so 

 valuable and interesting an assemblage of rare plants should be dispersed, 

 we at the same time invite the attention of our readers to the circumstance, 

 and recommend them to avail themselves of an opportunity that seldom 

 occurs of increasing their collections. Mr. Barclay's hothouses are known 

 to be particularly rich in Madagascar, Isle of France, and Mexican plants : 

 many of his specimens are probably unique.
