stop in the street to listen to it, when I do not under- 
stand a word that is spoken. 
13th June, 1839.—I passed the whole morning, that 
is, until one o’clock, at the Botanical Cabinet, looking 
at grass and such like. After dinner Zuccarini called 
for me, took me to his house, showed me his Japan 
plants, the work he is publishing on them, ete. I 
looked over and named his American Cyperacez, and 
he made me most bountiful offers for exchange. He 
gave me some of his publications and even offered me 
his “ Japan Flora” (Siebold’s), which is an expensive 
work, but it is very desirable for us to have, though it 
will be rather difficult for me to give him an equiva- 
lent. It is now sunset, eight o’clock ; all the shops 
in the town have been closed nearly an hour, the peo- 
ple all enjoying themselves in the gardens round- 
about. I am going to bed early, in hopes to rise in 
time to go down to the Garden and hear Martius lec- 
ture at seven o'clock. He lectures eyery morning at 
that hour, and Zuccarini again every morning from 
eight to nine, and also from eleven to twelve. The 
scientific people here have been arranging a little féte 
for Saturday, the birthday of Linneus. It is decided 
that there is to be a botanical excursion, I believe, to 
the Tegernsee, some fifteen miles off, and I suppose 
also a picnic dinner. I have not learned all the par- 
ticulars, but this I shall do in time, as I am to be one 
of the party. 
14th June, 1839. — I rose early this morning and 
went to hear Martius lecture at the Garden at seven 
o'clock. He is a good lecturer, fluent and clear. 
Called on Dr. Schultes ;1 then returned to breakfast ; 
afterwards spent the morning at the cabinet, with 
1 Julius Hermann Schultes, 1804. Died in Munich, 1840.
