A MISSION TO VITI. 



Academy,' the result of which has been given in the ' Bonplandia,* 

 x. 34 (1862), and also in the Proceedings of the Academy named. 

 As there are very few original specimens in Europe of the numer- 

 ous new types described by that eminent savant, these papers are 

 invaluable to the working botanist. Mr. Mitten has examined 

 all my Mosses and Hepatica3 (Bonpl. ix. 365, and Bonpl. x. 19) ; 

 amongst the 35 species collected there being 20 new ones. For 

 the determination of the Ferns I am indebted to Mr. Smith, at 

 Kew ; for that of the Fungi, to the Eev. M. J. Berkeley ; for that 

 of the Palms, to Mr. "Wendland ; the Lichens to the Eev. Churchill 

 Babington, and the Aroidea3 to Mr. Schott, at Vienna, who has 

 also described the new species (Bonplandia, ix. 367, seq.) ; for my 

 own part, I have begun to describe the new genera and species in 

 the ' Bonplandia,' ix. and x., and given coloured illustrations drawn 

 by the skilful pencil of Mr. Fitch. In the following catalogue will 

 be found embodied the result of all these labours, and also all the 

 species enumerated by previous authors. The numbers which follow 

 the different species refer to my distributed collections, and those 

 remitted to me by Mr. J. Storck, who was my able assistant, and is 

 now a permanent resident in Fiji.
