It consists of a " Premier Memoire," devoted to Conifers, 

 pp. 1 - 170, and a "Seeonde Mi'-moire " devoted to Oycads, 

 pp. 171-212. Specially interesting to Australians are the 

 notes on and plates of Dacrydium cupressinum (N.Z.), 

 Vhylloi'hHins Hiomhoidalis Tasmania), GVr//jfW.s vhomboidea 

 R. Br., C. obloiiga, Rich. 



The Cycad Memoir contains nothing specially dealing 

 with Australian plants, except the "note sur l'opinion de 

 M. Robert Brown, relativement a la structure des fleurs 

 femelles dans les coniferes et les Cycadees," at p. 203. No 

 Australian Cycads are figured. 



6. 1836-9. "Venus,' commanded by Abel du Petit- 

 Thouars. 



The chief botanical interest concerning this expedition 

 lies i'i the volume of plates published in 1846. The small 

 volume describing the botanical results did not make its 

 appearance until eighteen years later. The Australian 

 plants are chiefly of the Western State.
