himself or under his immediate oversight, with as much attention to neéatness in displaying them as 
circumstances will admit. The filiform kinds will be displayed on white paper. 
Dr. Harvey’s first collections will be made in Western Australia, at various points along the coast from 
Swan River to King George’s Sound. Three or four months will be devoted to this locality, from which it 
is intended to ship for England about March, 1854, the collections that shall have been made there. Dr. 
Harvey will then proceed (perhaps touching for a short time at Adelaide) to Sydney and Van Dieman’s 
Land, from which a second shipment may be expected to be made about December, 1854; but no distribu- 
tion of the collections will take place till Dr. Harvey’s return to Europe in 1855. 
It is impossible at present to state the number of species which may be offered for sale. The number 
of subscription sets will be limited, at the most to 50:—which will probably be of very unequal extent, the 
larger sets containing possibly 400 to 600 species, the smaller 200 to 300. Subscribers who desire full 
suites will be entered for them in the order in which their names are received, the earlier consequently 
being entitled to the most numerous and valuable sets. The subscription will be at the rate of eleven 
dollars per 100 species; delivered, free of all charges for freight, commission, &c., either in New York or 
Boston, as desired; and, to accommodate persons who do not wish for more than a sample of the Austra- 
lian marine vegetation, small sets of 100 or 200 species, at the same rate, will be selected from the duplicates 
which may remain after supplying the general subscribers. 
The specimens will be numbered, and printed lists of numbers, with the habitat and a provisional 
name, will be furnished with the sets; these provisional names being subject to revision and correction, 
when time shall allow of the preparation and publication of a full synoptic table, which will then be distri- 
buted to subscribers. 
I authorize my name to be entered as a subscriber to Dr. Harvey’s collections of Australian Alge, at 
eleven dollars per hundred species.
