Abstract
THE Hydrographer of the Admiralty has kindly forwarded to Kew, as he has stated in his note in NATURE for May 5, p. 12, the botanical specimens collected during the visit of H.M.S. Flying-Fish to Christmas Island. They were unfortunately, as explained by Capt. Maclear, a mere residue of the collection which was obtained. The examination of a better preserved and more extensive one would be interesting, as the flora is evidently of a less common-place kind than that generally met with in coral islands.
