On this list, which exhibits such an extraordinary deficiency, comment is hardly 

 necessary. Among the incorporators M. DeCandolle is conspicuous; — among the 

 performers of their engagements, M. Ness Von Esenbeck; — besides, this distin- 

 guished Botanist has published the Wightean and Roylean Cyperaceae in Wight's 

 Contributions, and has long finished the MSS. of the Gramineae of the same col- 

 lections ; these we hope are not kept back by Dr. Arnott to keep the others com- 

 pany. 



It is also to be noticed, that some monographs have been finished wholly or in 

 part, by parties who did not undertake to do them ; for instance, the Asclepiadeae, 

 Guttiferae and Myrtaceae, by Dr. Wight, and the Musci by Mr. Harvey and Dr. 

 Joseph Hooker, 



Some of the recipients are dead ; most will, it is to be feared, be so before their 

 labours are begun, resumed? or finished ? Had we a voice in the affair, we would 

 recommend all the outlying materials to be called in and entrusted to M. Nees 

 Von Esenbeck, Mr. Bentham, M. Decaisne and Dr. Wight.
