TO THE 



KEV, C. PABISH, M.A., 



OF MOULMEIN. 



Mi dear Mr. Parish, 



Pray accept the dedication of the 96th Volume of the 

 "Botanical Magazine" in the spirit which has prompted it: a 

 desire, namely, to record my sense of the value of your Botanical 

 discoveries, especially of Orchids, in the Eastern Peninsula of India; 

 and of your many contributions to the collections at Kew, of whose 

 beauty and interest the plates of the "Botanical Magazine" afford 

 abundant evidence. 



Believe me ever. 



Very sincerely yours, 



JOS. D. HOOKER. 



Royal Gardens, Ke^, 

 Dec. 1, 1870.
