9 MR. C. B. CLARKE ON THE 
Dr. Watt marched along the same route in spring that I 
traversed in autumn. His collection, after a rough examination 
and tabulation, has been distributed in the General Herbarium 
at Kew. Mr. Thiselton Dyer wished me to take up Dr. Watt's 
plants, so that the present paper might contain all that is known 
concerning the plants of Kohima and Muneypore. I found, 
however, that Dr. Watt did not wish me to name and describe 
his collection; and I therefore have not adopted Mr. T. Dyer's 
suggestion. In comparing my plants in the Kew Herbarium, I 
have in several cases found that Dr. Watt had named in MS. the 
same species which I have collected ; in these cases I have accepted 
Dr. Watt's name for the species if undeseribed. Dr. Watt's 
collection being distributed in the Kew Herbarium, I have not 
compared it thoroughly ; but, so far as I haveseen it, I should 
infer that we, collecting along the same route, have collected 
mainly the same plants. 
I need not repeat here the general remarks of my letter from 
Kohima, already printed by the Society ; the present paper is the 
justifying piece of that letter, with various corrections of detail. 
The principal phytographic result to be deduced from my Kohima 
visit is that the Himalayan Flora at this point crosses the Bruh- 
mapootra valley to the southern side of Assam. Jakpho, the 
mountain I visited near Kohima, is 9980 feet high; about 50 
miles east and south-east from Jakpho is a tract of elevated 
country wholly unexplored; the highest point of this on the map 
is Saramethi, marked 12,500 feet high. This Saramethi country 
will be almost immediately accessible, and may be expected to 
Supply an assemblage of new plants allied to the Himalayan 
Flora at 10,000-12,000 feet altitude. The magnificent Yunnan 
collections now in the hands of M. Franchet are a further eastward 
extension of the same character of Flora. 
The list appended contains a very few Chinese and Malayan 
species not known before from British India; it consists in the 
main of Sikkim and Khasia species, there being an additional 50 
new species all allied to Sikkim and Khasia plants. 
In comparing and naming the list I have been assisted most 
kindly by all the officers of the Kew Herbarium, and by Prof. 
Oliver in particular. Also Mr. Ridley, of the British Museum, 
who looked at two Orchids for me, and Prof. Reichenbach, who 
supplied me with a full description of an Orchid which he 
considers undescribed.
