A dubious Cochlearia, bordering on Vesicaria. wing 
is made from the collection of Dr. Thomas Thomson, lately re- 
turned from his scientific mission to Western Himalaya and 
Thibet, whence, after joining Dr. Hooker in Eastern Himalaya, 
he is at this moment returned to Europe with his valuable col- 
lections, upon which it is to be hoped his well-known talents 
will be employed for the advantage of the scientific world.
