Abstract

BARON EGGERS, commissioned by Dr. Urban and assisted by the Royal Academy of Sciences of Berlin, is about to undertake the botanical investigation of the hitherto unexplored higher mountains of St. Domingo. The specimens collected for distribution will be arranged (under corresponding numbers) in two series. One will consist only of species which have not yet been distributed in Baron Eggers' West Indian collections; the other and larger series will include everything except the commonest tropical species. The first-named series will be disposed of at forty shillings per century, the latter at thirty shillings. Dr. J. Urban, assisted by other systematists, will determine the collections and receive the names of subscribers. As the expense and difficulty of transit in the island must limit the number of collections for sale, early applicatioh to Dr. Urban is desirable. Dr. Urban's address is Friedenau, bei Berlin.
