“I have already gone through the Labia- 
ie, and am now engaged in studying the 
Leguminose, with the view of giving, in 
the Annals of the Museum here, a Memoir 
on the Brazilian Leguminose, with de- 
scriptions of a number of new genera and 
species, and a general enumeration of all 
the genera in this Order, together with the 
synonymy of Meyer's and Ecklon's new 
Cape genera, and descriptions of some re- 
markable ones among Bauer’s New Hol- 
land, and Bojer's Madagascar plants. Se- 
veral of the genera are done, and I have 
prepared descriptions of some highly inte- 
resting Brazilian genera, but shall now 
probably lay aside this Memoir for a short 
time, that I may assist Endlicher in the 
publication of the * Plante Hügeliane.'

generally known; but in case you should

the spring of 1831, visited Greece, Cyprus, 
Syria and Palestine, Egypt, Nubia, and 
Arabia, and reached Bombay by the steam- 
boat, in the year 1832. He left no re- 
markable point of the West coast of the 
Indian Peninsula untouched, and passing 
through the varied territory of the Deccan 
and Malabar coast, reached Cape Comorin, 
Thence he crossed over to Ceylon by the 
: Adam's. Bridge,’ exploring the little in- 
terior of this island, so rich in the monu- 
ments of the Buddha religion, for the space 
of four months, and then returned to India,

George’s Sound, and thence to Van D 
men’s Land. After a few weeks’ stay al 
each of the latter places, he came to S 
ney, the capital of New South Wales, 
country which seems to have presen 
peculiar attractions to our traveller, as 
crossed and explored it in every direct

mits of the colony. After visiting 
Zealand and some islands of the Pacifi 
Ocean, the Baron bent his course thro
