prepared them as specimens, to give their names, with num- 
bers corresponding with those of the blocks of timber, for his

Satisfaction of Capt. Cecille. We were absent three days 
up the Wycaddie river, having three boats with us and 
twenty-six seamen, to fell trees under the direction of the 
ship's carpenter. They were as follows :—

are tremendous ; they are cold, heavy, penetrating, and when 
in showers, are of two hours? duration, with little intermis- 
sion: but I have done tolerably well. You would have been 
overjoyed to have been with me on some of my days' excur- 
sions, for, although it is the winter with many trees, I have 
nevertheless had a good picking. Conceive of the tribe you 
delight in so much, the Filices, now rich in fructification ; 
Cyathea dealbata, C. medullaris, very fine; and I believe a 
third arborescent one (Dicksonia levis, Hew.) Lygodium arti- 
culatum, Todea pellucida, Lomaria discolor, L. Fraseri, As- 
lucidum, Cenopteris flaccida, Doodia Kunthiana 5
