1. Having* obtained six months' leave of absence, I proceeded to 
England direct via the Cape of Good Hope and took with me tor iden- 
tification about two thousand Botanical specimens, collected from trees 
in the Botanical Gardens and jungles in the neighbourhood, which being 
packed and sent on board in a green state, afforded me constant employ- 
ment in pressing and drvinsr for a considerable part of the voyage. 
2. This, however, was scarcely completed, when a storm, met with 
at the Cape of Good Hops, caused the destruction of about live hundred 
of them.
