Sir, 
I beg to acknowledge the receipt of Vol. I., Part I., of "Annals of the Botanical Society of Canada," in peru- 
sing which I got the information (p. 19) that I had been selected as a Corresponding Member of that learned Com- 
pany. I request you will be so kind as to present to the Council and Fellows of the Canadian Society my warmest 
thanks for that honour, so unexpected, and assure them I shall be happy if I may be useful to the Society in con - 
tributing some plants for their herbarium. I shall be glad to know if such contributions might be acceptable, and 
in what manner or way I can forward them. If any of the learned Fellows of the Society were specially studyin g 
marine algae, I should be glad to exchange the species of our coasts against a numerous set of samples of Canadian 
species. 
I beg you will inform me whether the number of the " Annals " was intended for the Library of our 
Society of Cherbourg, or for my own library. In the latter case, I should sohcit a second set of those publications 
for the Society, who shall send you in exchange their Memoirs. 
T have the honor to inform you that the Society Imperial of Natural Sciences of Cherbourg, at their meeting 
of 9th inst., have, after my proposition, elected you their Corresponding Member. 
I am, very respectfully. Sir, your very obedient servant, 
AUGUSTS LE JOLIS, Br. PUlos.

Sir, 
I have been informed that a Botanical Society, of which you are the Secretary, has been founded in your town 
with a view to further the interests of science, and that one of the means intended to be employed by the Society 
wiU be exchanges of plants. Although it is not stated expressly, I suppose foreign botanists will be admitted to 
partake of the advantages of these exchanges ; and if such were really the case, I should beg leave to offer to the 
Canadian Society collections of Italian and especially Tuscan plants, for which I would thankfully take in return 
American plants, especially Ranunculacece, of which I intend working up a monograph. Perhaps the fact of my 
being the author of a Flora of Tuscany may give some additional value to my plants. 
I should be very much obhged if you would favor me with an answer ; begging you to believe me, 
Yours sincerely, 
T. CARUEL.

Sir, 
In a number of the " Phytologist" I have lately read a very interesting advertisement, by which you make 
known that the Botanical Society of Kingston wishes to exchange plants with foreign botanists. Having mysel f 
long since the same intentions and purposes, and being very well connected for making such exchanges with sev- 
eral European and Algerine botanists, notwithstanding gathering a great quantity of plants in this country, I
