The other books are in our possession, and also partly the most interesting Journal of 

 the Asiatic Society of Bengal, the completion of which by your kindness, I take the 

 liberty to ask for. There is wanting of this most precious Journal, vols. I. II. III. ; From 

 the year 1839, are wanting the months of August, September, October and November ; 

 from 1841 is wanting No. CXIII., and from No. CXVIIL all is wanting published till 

 to the present day. We should consider as a particular favour your friendly intervention 

 for the completion of this work. 



In the box containing the newer publications of our Academy, you will also find the 

 Almanacks of the last years, which give a general catalogue of all our publications, and of 

 which I beg you to select any more you may believe interesting for the purpose of the 

 Asiatic Society. Also you will find there two little books of my own : Systema Mat. 

 Med. Veget. Brasiliensis, and on the Constitution, Sicknesses and Physics of the American 

 tribes, which I beseech you to present in my name to the Asiatic Society, 



Regarding the Society's wish of possessing specimens of German geology, we have

 of your agent at London. Every communication in any branch of natural history the 

 Asiatic Society may think convenient for us, shall be highly acceptable. I beg you to send 

 the Society's communications either by London, where your agent may take care of 

 them, or to Hamburgh directly, where Mr. G. T. E. Roeding is the Academy's agent. 



Allow me, Sir, to present you the assurance of the high consideration with which I 

 have the honour to be, 



Dr. Martius, 

 Secretary of the Math, and Phys. Class of the Roy. Academy of Sciences. 



Munich, 6th of January, 1845. 



The Secretary was authorized to dispatch to the Royal Bavarian 

 Academy the books required, and to express the gratification of the 

 Society at the opening of an intercourse with this learned body. 



Read the following note from Major Wroughton pointing out a mis- 

 conception as to Colonel Stacy's Hebrew MSS. (Proceedings of

 of the exact purport of my note, which accompanied the MS. but feel confident, if you
