Mr. M. Willkomm thinks he may estimate his botanical harvest at 
not less than 3,000 species; but the saleable collections he intends 
limiting to 2,000 species of peninsular plants, as well as those 
of the Mediterranean and the Pyrenees and Alps. They will consist 
of Cryptogames and Phanerogames, to be disposed of in complete 
sets, of 2,000 species, or in centuries, according to the following 
prices :—

None but subscribers can have collections of 2,000 species. 
As the success of this scheme must mainly depend on the support 
of the public, M. Willkomm. solicits the patronage of lovers of Natural 
History, and especially botany, to be announced to him before the 
middle of next month. The undertaking, finally, is strongly recom- 
mended by Mr. Schlechtendal.
