BOTANY 
OP 
CAPTAIN BEECHEY’S VOYAGE. 
CHILL 
[Visited Valparaiso in October and November, 1825 ; and again Valparaiso and Coquimbo in May, 1828.] 
After tbe investigations of Feuillee, of Ruiz and Pavon, of the Naturalists of the Russian Expedition 
under Capt. Kotzebue, partly made known by Chamisso and Schlechtendal in the different volumes of the 
Linnsea, and of Mi\ Macrae, Dr. GiUies, and Mr. Cruckshanks, some of whose collections have been 
described in the Botanical Magazine and Register, and in the Botanical Miscellany, it is not to be expected 
that this portion of Capt. Beechey’s Herbarium should be of a very novel nature, particularly as the 
Naturalists had but little opportunity of visiting the interior of the country.
