[Though now at a far advanced evening of life and no longer 

 enjoying unimpaired eyesight, the Hungarian Divine has 

 elaborated some more Australian fungaceous plants in addition 

 to those formerly recorded in the Transactions of the Linnean 

 Society of ^e\v South Wales. The accomplished lady, who at 

 my reriucst has commenced to collect fungi about the neighbour- 

 hood of Swan Eiver, rendered her collections all the more valuable 

 through accompanying them by splendid coloured drawings of 

 each species, prepared by her own hands. The importance of 

 this for the examination of succulent fungi from dried specimens 

 I had pointed out to Mrs. Forrest ; and I wish that ladies in 

 other parts of Australia would devote their artistic talent likewise 

 to such original and really useful purposes. — F. y. Muellee.]
