stating that accounts received from various quarters bear full testi- 

 mony to the zeal and devotion of Mr. Hartweg to his duties as a 

 collector, and to the interests of the Society generally ; and although 

 his exertions during nearly a whole year were in a great degree 

 rendered useless by the unfortunate circumstances connected with 

 the blockade above alluded to, yet they cannot but consider that 

 the coniferous seeds alone, which have been so abundantly raised 

 and extensively distributed, have amply compensated for the expense 

 of the mission, independently of the great variety of Epiphytes and 

 Cactaceae, and a considerable number of miscellaneous ornamental 

 Greenhouse, as well as hardy and half hardy plants, that have been 

 introduced to the country by this means. 



2. Foreign Correspondence. 



In the long list of Foreign, and Foreign Corresponding Members 

 of the Society there will be found, it is believed, nearly every 

 name of distinction in Horticulture in every part of the Globe ; 

 and of late years especially, since our extended communications 

 with the Continent have afforded better means of ascertaining the 

 real scientific qualifications of persons resident in the less frequented 

 parts, great pains have been taken in the selection of those on 

 whom the title is conferred. It is therefore hoped, that amongst 

 the gentlemen added to the list since 1830, there is not one who is 

 not known as a zealous promoter of Horticulture in some of its 

 branches. 



The following are the Foreign Members elected during this 

 period ; the number of twenty, as limited by the bye-laws, being now 

 complete : — 



July 6, - 1830. Dr. Wallich, Calcutta. 



March 19, - 1833. Professor G. C. Nees v. Esenbeck, Breslau. 



January 16, 1838. Baron Charles von Hugel, Vienna. 



June 5, - 1838. James Traill, Esq., Cairo.
