Tue present paper contains a list of the plants (with descriptions 
of the new species) collected on a march from Golaghat (in Central 
Assam) viá Kohima and Muneypore to Cachar, in October and 
November 1885. From Kohima I wrote a letter published in 
the Linnean Society's Journal (Botany), vol. xxii. p. 128. The 
present list contains 1050 species of Flowering Plants and Ferns, 
which is probably less than one fifth of the whole Flora of the 
tract traversed ; but it is published as a first contribution to the 
knowledge of it. 
The plants of the Khasi and Jaintea Hills are known by the 
collections of Dr. Wallich, Griffith, and especially of Sir J. D. 
Hooker and Dr. T. Thomson. In the spring of 1837 Dr. Griffith 
marched from Sudiya in Upper Assam, viá Hookoom Valley, to 
Bhamo in Upper Burmah. Between these routes, 7. e. between 
Khasia and Hookoom, we have no botanic collections except that 
here enumerated and the collection of Dr. Watt. 
Mr. J. W. Masters published in 1848 (Journal of the Agri- 
Horticultural Society of India, vol. vi. p. 34) a paper on the 
Vegetable Productions of the Naga Hills. My attention was 
kindly directed to this paper by Dr. Prain, the Curator of tho 
Calcutta Herbarium; but I find that it refers to the Terai vege- 
tation, which marks the boundary between the plain of Assam 
and the Naga Hills; in 1848 it was not possible to penetrate 
across the Hills into Muneypore.
