13th, as mentioned. 
"Measures were immediately taken by the Governor-General to 
transport the plants to the higher-situated Tjippannas, in which, 
however a delay of two days was occasioned by the tempestuous

3. " Cinchona Calisaya, Wedd., from the Valley of Sandia, in

come up badly in the Garden at Leyden. 
5. " CiJichona ovata, R. et. P. fCascarilla crispilla, rhiqua or 
chiquaj. We were informed that this, like No. 4, grows as a shrub
