 Natural History unknown before. In concluding these 

 remarks, we may add a general list of the species contained 

 in Mr. Griffith's collection. It is as well however to say, that 

 Mr. Griffith's Researches were botanical ; and that whatever 

 he has done in Ichthyology and other branches of science, 

 has been accomplished in addition to a masterly investigation 

 of the Flora of the countries he has visited, and which we 

 trust he will live to communicate to the world.
