Botany. 



At present no complete account of tlie botany exists, but large 

 collections of dried plants have been made, the latest by Mr. Sintenis 

 being perhaps the most important. Baron Eggers and Mr. Garber have 

 also added to our knowledge of the flora of the island. 



Dr. J. Urban, of Berlin, is preparing, with the co-operation of other 

 botanists, a complete ' Flora of Porto Rico, San Domingo, and Cuba.'
