Dr. C. W. Short of Louisville Ky., has published in the Western Journal of Medicine for March 1845, an account of his observations, (made in Autumn) on the Flora of the Prairies of Illinois. He traversed the central portions of the state and returned by a different route, which gave him an opportunity of seeing and examining the face of the country and its productions, under a great variety of aspects. Being an enthusiastic botanist, and traveling in a light covered waggon, well prepared for making extensive collections, his observations are of great value, and add much to our knowledge of the peculiar vegetation of the central portions of the state. I cannot resist the temptation to copy a few of his graphic descriptions.
