 (Plates I. -XII. 



The following novelties were collected by me chiefly at Fort 

 Dauphin in the extreme south-east of the island of Madagascar. 

 I have to express my indebtedness, first to those who have taken 

 complete charge of some of the orders — Professor A. Cogniaux, 

 Professor Kadlkofer, Mr. E. A. Bolfe, Dr. O. Beccari, Mr. C. B. 

 Clarke, and Professor Hackel ; and also to those who have 

 assisted me in undertaking the remainder, especially Mr. J. G. 

 Baker, whose manuscript Flora has been of the very greatest 

 service, Dr. H. E. Baillon, who assisted me in very many doubtful 

 cases, Prof. D. Oliver, Mr. N. E. Brown, and others who have 

 helped me on various occasions.
