Abstract
WE regret to hear of the death at Calcutta of Father Scortechini from dysentery. He has succumbed to his extraordinary exertions in the botanical exploration of Perak, where he had made very large and valuable collections. These he intended to make the basis of a flora of this native State in collaboration with Dr. King, the Superintendent of the Royal Botanic Garden, Calcutta. His collections will, as far as possible, be made use of by Sir Joseph Hooker in the portions of the flora of British India now in progress at Kew.
