TO GEORGE BENTHAM. 
.. Arrived at Geneva by way of Villeneuve and the 
Lake. De Candolle and Alphonse had returned only 
three days previous to my arrival. They received me 
very cordially, and I went through the herbarium as 
far as the “ Prodromus” is prepared. 
From Geneva I went to Lausanne and Freiburg; .. . 
thence to Berne, where I made no stay; thence to 
Bale, to Schafthausen, to Tiibingen, where I spent the 
morning with Mohl;! reached Stuttgart toward even- 
ing and Heidelberg the next morning. Frankfort in the 
evening ; took the eilwagen the same night for Leipsie ; 
saw Poppig, 2? Schwigrichen,* etc.; railroad to Dres- 
den ; saw Reichenbach ‘ for a few moments, as he went 
into the country the same day; visited the picture- 
gallery, which deserves to be called the richest out of 
Italy; returned to Leipsic; to Halle; passed a day or 
two with Schlechtendal ;° saw the Carices in the her- 
barium of Schkuhr ;® Potsdam, Sans-Souci, the mar- 
ble palace, the beautiful statue of the late queen of 
Prussia by Rauch (the second and best one); and
