Professor Henriquez, alluding to M. Van Gorkom's recently published treatise on Cinchonas (see p.84), informs us that in the Cape de Verd Islands, especially at St. Antao, and at St. Thome, where there are already thousands of plants of C. suc-cirubra, officinalis and Ledgeriana, analyses have been made of the bark of some of these species, and with most satisfactory results. Most of these plants were sent from the Botanic Garden at Coim-bra, whence seeds were also sent. The plants have been multiplied by cuttings. - Gardeners Chron.
