 from the general botanical public. The subscription price is one 

 dollar a year.

 an indefatigable and most successful collector of Brazilian plants 

 during his thirty- five years' residence in that country. His col- 

 lections have been studied and described chiefly by others, but 

 he wrote a " Liste des Plantes du Bresil Central recueillies in 

 1 861-1895," which was in the course of publication in the 

 Memoircs de la Socictc Botanique de France at the time of his 

 death.
