Art. VII. A Second Additio7ial Supplement to the " Hortus 

 B?-itau nicies." 



A Secoxd Additional Supplement to the Hortus Britanniciis is now in prepa- 

 ration, and will be published, we trust, by Christmas next. We take this 

 opportunity of-inviting the curators of public and private botanic gardens to 

 send us lists, with the requisite information to each species or variety, of such 

 new plants as they may have received since 1832, which may not have been 

 hitherto introduced in our Floricultural Notices in this Magazine, or have 

 not been published in any other work. We trust Mr. Anderson, Mr. Cameron, 

 Mr. Baxter, Mr. Biggs, Mr. Turner, Mr, Campbell, Mr. Shepherd, Mr. Mar- 

 nock, Mr. M'Nab, Mr. Stewart Murray, Mr. M'Nab of Dollar, Mr. Mackay 

 and Mr. Niven of Dublin, and Mr. Campbell of Belfast, together with such 

 cultivators, nurserymen, or private gardeners, as possess, or have the charge 

 of, collections, will accept of this intimation instead of a private letter. Every 

 contribution will be didy noticed in the preface to the work, of which a pre- 

 sentation copy will be sent to every contributor.
