146 ON THE SUBSUBAREAS OF BRITISH INDIA. 
Ceylon by the same route the Dipterocarps travelled ; but 
1 do not see that their present distribution favours the 
hypothesis of this route more than any other. 
(4) Primula and Androsace are numerous in the West and 
High Alpine Himalaya, two species reaching Khasia; no 
species elsewhere in India. These two genera appear to 
belong to our European element altogether. 
(5) Lagenophora is a geuus of Composites, its headquarters 
Australia ; L. Billardieri, Cass., is in Malaya, in Khasia, 
and in Ceylon—nowbere else in India. 
(6) None of these genera or suborders, Quercus, Rhododendron, 
Primula, absent, or nearly so, in the Madras Peninsula, 
oceurs in Tropical or South Africa. 
[N.B.—The spelling of the localities is that in each ca:e 
on the collector’s ticket. This is at least as right as modern 
transliteration. I have not attempted to make the spelling 
uniform, as I cannot do this, even on my own ground, without 
risk of introducing error; thus 1 hesitate to alter Jopoo, in 
Muneypoor, to Jakpho, though I suspect they may be the same 
place.—-C. B. C.]
