А CONTRIBUTION TO OUR KNOWLEDGE OF THE FLORA ок GAZALAND : being 
an Account of Collections made by C. Е. M. Swynnerton, Esq., F.L.S. 
By Dr. A. B, Век, F.R.S., F.L.S., Mr. Е. G. NIA F.L.S.,

[Read 2nd June, 1910.] 
Тнк collections which form the subject of this paper were made by 
Mr. Swynnerton chiefly in the high country which forms the boundary 
between Eastern Rhodesia and Portuguese territory. The following account 
of the district, which has been compiled from Mr. Swynnerton’s notes, will 
give some idea of its general character and vegetation. Mr. Swynnerton 
also collected in the lower lying country within the Portuguese boundary, 
especially in the Madanda Forest and along the Buzi River, which enters the 
Indian Ocean opposite Beira. 
We know but little of the special characters of the flora оЁ the highlands 
on the Anglo-Portuguese boundary. Archdeacon Johnson collected on the 
Chimanimani Mountains, and some of his specimens, which are in the Kew 
Herbarium, are identical with plants in Mr. Swynnerton's collection.
