| INTRODUCTION. 
| By I. H. BURKILL, M.A., F.LS. 
IN the autumn of 1894 Messrs. F. V. McConnell and J. J. Quelch first visited Roraima ; 
they were there again in the autumn of 1898, and on both occasions not only encamped 
higher on the slopes of the mountain than any previous traveller, but they spent nights 
on the summit in order that the time given to collecting its flora and fauna should be 
uninterrupted. The collections of plants were transmitted to Kew, and both are 
enumerated in this paper.
