Besides the plants enumerated above, many trees and shrubs of other 

 parts of Europe and of Asia have found a home at HatArmajor, which is 

 not only a beautiful park, but of much greater value and wider interest 

 as a successful experiment in the acclimatization of foreign plants to the 

 climate of southeastern Europe. Unfortunately it will be manifestly 

 impossible for Count Ambr6zy to maintain the park as it was planned, 

 since in 1922 the Rumanian government, after passing the Agrarian reform 

 bill, expropriated Count Ambr6zy and left him of an estate of approxi- 

 mately 3750 Hungarian catastral acres (5330 English acres) only about 137 

 Hungarian catastral acres, of which 56 belong to the park and yield there- 

 fore no return; it is apparent that the income from less than 100 Hun-

would have yielded considerable income, have been taken over by the 

 Rumanian government, and are now under the Forestry Service of that 

 country. It certainly would be highly desirable to find ways and means 

 to prevent Count Ambr6zy's undertaking, considering its practical, 

 scientific, and esthetic value, from going to ruin, and Count Ambr6zy 

 (address : Bankgasse 6, Vienna, Austria) would be glad to receive sugges- 

 tions in this respect. 



EXACT DATES OF PUBLICATION OF MIQUEL 

 WALES MUSEI BOTANICI LUGDUNO-BATAVI

cae are the most important and best known of the different works pub- 

 lished by Miquel. The dates, however, of the various parts of these two 

 publications are not exactly known. In botanical works they are usually 

 approximately cited as 1863-4, 1866-7, 1868-9. As a certain number of 

 contemporaneous botanical publications exist which deal with the plants 

 of eastern Asia, it is often necessary to know exactly which one has priority. 

 I have questioned the Dutch botanists at Leyden in regard to these works 

 without obtaining satisfactory information. I have been, however, 

 fortunate enough to see in the library of the Botanic Garden at Edinburgh,
