OF THE GENUS MILLETTIA. 133 
MATERIAL, 
With the exception of one or two visits to other Herbaria the whole of the 
following revision has, by the courtesy of the Director of the Royal Botanic 
Gardens, Kew, been elaborated in the pleasant and convenient surroundings 
of the Herbarium and Library of that great establishment, and the specimens 
which form the foundation of the work will be mostly found there. 
Sir David Prain's work upon the Indian Millettias and his notes upon them 
(Journ. As. Soc. Beng. lxvi. ii. 360 etc.) have left little more to be done in 
that field, but, as an additional assistance, he did me the great favour to 
borrow and Major Gage to lend the whole material of the genus from the 
Calcutta Herbarium, more than 800 sheets of splendid specimens, mostly 
arranged and annotated by him. 
Besides these a large mass of types and critical specimens has been 
borrowed, with the kind help of Dr. Stapf, from other European herbaria. 
Thus it was possible to study at leisure at Kew 200 sheets of African 
material which Dr. Harms, with the leave of. Prof. Engler, was good enough 
to select from the Berlin Herbarium. Т have also to thank Dr. Harms for 
the valuable notes with which, from his unique knowledge of African 
Leguminosz, he was able to supply me. 
At the beginning of 1911 I had the privilege of studying the Millettias in 
the Paris Herbarium and of receiving much valuable information from 
M. Gagnepain, M. Pellegrin, and Père Sacleux, and afterwards from 
M. Chevalier regarding Asiatie and African species. 
My thanks are due to Dr. Rendle, Keeper of the Botanical Department of 
the British Museum, for allowing free access to the invaluable collections 
under his charge and for lending 103 critical specimens for comparison at Kew. 
In the subjoined list these and other loans of specimens are enumerated, 
and I wish here to record my thanks to the gentlemen mentioned for their 
great kindness in thus assisting me.
