Notes on the Herbarium of the Calcutta Botanic Garden, with 

 especial reference to the completion of the Flora Indica ; by Thomas 

 Thomson, M.D., F.R.S., Supt. H. C. Bot. Garden. 



{Continued from p. 14.) 



The commencement of the present Herbarium of the Calcutta Bo- 

 tanic Garden dates from Dr. Wallich's return to India in 1832. The 

 separate collections of which it is made up having been incorporated 

 together, the following list has been prepared to show the origin of 

 the different parts thus combined into one. 



I. Indian Collections. 



1. A few specimens from the Carnatic, collected and named by Dr. 

 Bottler and given by him to Dr. Wallich, who brought them with him 

 from Denmark. 



2. A complete series of specimens collected and dried in the Bo- 

 tanic Garden. Most of these are ticketed by Dr. Wallich, the collec- 

 tion having undergone careful revision by him after his return from 



Europe in 1833. 



3. A portion of the collection made in Khasia and Assam by the 

 Assam Tea Deputation in 1835-36, consisting chiefly of Endogenous 

 and Acrogenous plants. The Exogens of this collection were sent 

 home by orders of the Honourable Court of Directors about four years 

 ago. 



4. A large collection from the Khasia Hills made by collectors in 

 Garden employ. This collection contains many duplicates. 



5. A very extensive collection, made in Assam by the Garden col- 

 lectors under the able superintendence of Colonel Jenkins, containing 

 a very complete series of plants of the plains and lower hill jungles of 

 Assam, with many duplicates. It contains also a few specimens from 



the Bhotan Mountains. . 



. 6. A very extensive collection made in the plains and Inly distorts 

 of Upper Assam and in the Naga Mountains by Mr. W . J. Masters, 

 sad presented by him to the Garden. The collection is remarkable for 

 the very careful manner in which the localities are marked upon each 

 specimen. It contains many rare and valuable plants, and numerous 



'T Colonel Vice's W*» collections, made in the 9.<*» district.
