In the Kew Bidletin, 1894, p. 110, on interesting account is given 

 of the sandalwood of Juan Fernandez, which C. Gay in his Flora 

 Chilena, v. 326, referred to S. album, L., and which, on some unauthen- 

 ticated authority, he stated had all perished, although previously abun- 

 dant in^ the island. Thanks to the persevering inquiries of 31r. F. 

 Philippij following up the discovery of twigs of sandalwood amongst 

 sortie fuel supplied by the islanders to the celebrated Chilian warship 

 ' Esmeralda/ he has now made it clear that the Juan Fernandez sandal- 

 ^vood is afforded by a previously undescribed species of Sa7italnm, which 

 he has figured as above cited, and of which excellent specimens hare 

 been transmitted by him to the Kew Herbarium. It is quite distinct 

 ti'om aS'. albu7n, as also from any other species in this Herbarium.—
