A letter from Rev. Rufus Anderson, Secretary of the

 addressed to Dr. Gould, was read, enclosing a copy of a 

 letter from Rev. Dwight Baldwin, M. D. dated Lahaina, 

 Maui, one of the Sandwich islands. 



Accompanying Dr. B.'s letter were four roots of the Taro, one 

 bunch of Bananas, two ripe Breadfruits, and a considerable num- 

 ber of the nuts of the Candle Tree ; also, some leaves and flowers 

 of the latter, and leaves of the Taro and Breadfruit. Dr. Ander-

 specimens were committed to Mr. Teschemacher.
