Abstract
ALTHOUGH the Editor has kindly replied to that part of Mr. Agassiz's letter ‘ante p. 199] relating to the Albatross Expedition, I should like to say a few words on the other points raised by him. In the first place, I regret that my communication on the subject should have produced the impression of unfairness towards any person or persons. Such was not my intention. For the sake of my own reputation, as well as for the information of those who, like Mr. Agassiz, might, from my way of expressing myself, think otherwise, I may add that I did not intend to convey the idea that Opuntia and Cereus are limited to Chili on the west coast of America. The contrary is so well known, that it did not appear necessary to me to enter into particulars. Of course Mr. Agassiz will hold me guiltless of suppressing anything respecting the branches of Opuntia and Cereus which he says he collected, though he does not know what became of them.
