[Baron F. von Mueller of Melbourne, Australia, sends various seeds of plants he deems likely to be able to succeed in the Sahara.]1

The President, A. Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire, told the meeting that the seeds had, for the most part, been sent to the Governor General of Algeria, and read a letter that he had sent to the Governor-General of Algeria (see A. Geoffroy Saint Hilaire to J. Cambon, January 1892 (in this edition as M92-01-00).

Letter not found. The text given here is from Revue des sciences naturelles appliquées, vol. 39, part 1 (1892), p. 228. It is dated to November 1891 as the latest likely date that it could have been written to have been reported at the meeting of the Society held on 22 January 1892.
