CHINA.
[Chiefly collected about Macao.]
Á I
Through the kmdness of our valued friend, Charles Millett, Esq., we are in possession of many Chinese
plants, gathered by himself at Macao and the adjacent Islands. The Collection also includes many from the
Herbarium of tho Rev. G. H. Vachell, Chaplain to the Factory at Canton, in whose bounty we have airain
likewise shared, through the medium of the Rev. Professor Heuslow of Cambridge. These have all
assisted us m materially determining many species in Captain Beechey’s CoUection; and they have
iurnished us with several species which our Naturalists had not the good fortune to meet with durinir their
limited stay a t Macao. ®
