List of the CanrcEs of Malaya. By C. B. Cr&fxz, F.L.S. 
(Read 3rd March, 1904.] 
Tuis List comprises all the species of Carex known to me from 
Malaya, with short diagnoses of those considered new. By 
“ Malaya ” is understood the Archipelago from Sumatra to the 
Philippines and New Guinea, together with the Malay and 
Tonkin Peninsulas. The material used is that in the Kew 
Herbarium. Dr. A. Zahlbruckner, of the Vienna Hofmuseum, 
to whom I was introduced by Dr. O. Stapf, kindly sent for my 
examination several types of Zollinger, of great value for estab- 
lishing the names of Zollinger and Miquel. I regret that I have 
not been able to make any use of the fine collection in the 
British Museum. To avail myself of these, I must have trans- 
ported the whole of my MSS. thither ; and it would have taken me 
more time than I can give to work out the specific names of the 
critical species from my own technical descriptions. Further, 
Ido not think it would have strengthened this paper to have 
added such determinations; I should not have felt sure enough 
of the exact agreement of the plants. It would of course have 
been different if I could have laid the plants side by side, when 
the identification would have been more certain as well as more 
speedy. 
The Malay Carex consists (here) of 54 species; of which 36,
