The present paper contains the description of a number of 

 monstrosities which have been collected in Java since 1911, 

 chiefly by Dr. Smith himself in or near the Botanical Gardens 

 of Buitenzorg, but also in different parts of Java by botanists, 

 growers and amateurs. In this connection we desire to express 

 our sincere thanks to Mr. C. A. Backer (Buitenzorg), the Controller 

 of Moesi Oeloe, Mr. Sanders (Grisee), Mr. Ch. Joseph (Buiten- 

 zorg), Dr. A. Rant (Tjinjiroean near Bandong), Dr. S. V. Simon 

 (Germany), Dr. W. Docters van Leeuwen (Samarang), Dr. W. 

 G. Boorsma (Weltevreden) and Mr. K. Gjellerdp, Army Surgeon, 

 who in 1911 examined the flora of New Guinea. The greater 

 part of the drawings were executed by the well known Javanese 

 draughtsman Natadipoera. 



Our former papers on the same subject are to be found in 

 the numbers of the present publication for the years 1S95, 

 1901, 1905, 1909 and 1911.
