The Committee regret to state that out of 43 different kinds of Seeds enumerated in the oiu'losed list, a very few oidy show any signs of vitality, — the box in which they were trans- mitted having bei'ii saturated with watei'. They trust that the box on its way, and now expected, may arrive in a better condition. Under these circumstances, the Committee have directed that such Seeds as do not appear to have lost their vitality should be sown, under the direction of the Secretary, with a view to the ultimate distribution among the Subscribers by lot, according to the shares held l)y them, of any plants which nuiy spring up. The Committee have announced to Mr 1>K0WX, the Collector, that his further services are to be dispensed with. J am. Sin, Vour most obedient servant. I. ANDKUSON-HENKY, ^cnj.
