                <p>&#x2014;Von Humboldt, in his<lb/>report on Hemprich and Ehrenberg&#x2019;s late
          travels,<lb/>undertaken at the expense of the Prussian Go-<lb/>vernment, through the
          Libyan Desert, Egypt,<lb/>Sennaar, Dongola, Lebanon, Arabia, &#x0026;c., bears<lb/>this
          honourable testimony to their industry and<lb/>talent:&#x2014;&#x201C;They collected as if
          collecting alone<lb/>had been the object of their pursuits; with re-<lb/>spect to
          preparations, preservation, and specific<lb/>denomination of their subjects, they
          laboured<lb/>beyond what any other travellers have laboured<lb/>under similar
          circumstances. The specimens<lb/>transmitted to the Royal Museum fill 114
          cases,<lb/>varying from 20 to 30 cubic feet each. The to-<lb/>tal number of preserved
          specimens of plants ex-<lb/>ceeds 46,000, amongst which are 2900 species; of<lb/>animals
          there are 34,000 individuals, amongst<lb/>which there are 135 distinct species of
          mamma-<lb/>lia, 430 kinds of birds, 546 sorts of fish and am-<lb/>phibious animals, 600
          species of anelides and<lb/>crustace&#x00E6;, and 2000 kinds of insects. The
          Royal<lb/>Cabinet of Minerals has been enriched with 300<lb/>specimens of mountain
          formations. Yet this is<lb/>but a secondary consequence of their labours.&#x201D;&#x2014;<lb/>
