specimens collected by Heyne in the Peninsula generally, by Noton in 
the Neelgherries, by Mooreroft in the more elevated mountains bound- 
by Mr S. Webb and Dr Govan, in Silhet and Chittagong by Bruce, in 
Pundua by Smith, and in Penang by Porter. Upon application to the 
Company, Dr Wallich was permitted to put his generous wishes into _ 
execution, and to distribute the whole of these treasures among the 
principal botanists of the present day, who were also invited to publish 
. respectively different portions of them. Not only did. he direct this 
. hereulean labour, but examined himself most of the materials, with the 
view of forming a complete catalogue with numbers corresponding to 
the specimens distributed : this catalogue or * List of dried specimens of 
. plants in the East India Company's Museum," consists of 253 pages 
folio, exclusive of the indices; it is executed in lithography, and was 
written by Dr Wallieh himself. The distribution was originally in- 
tended to be confined to what Dr Wallich brought to England along 
with him; but other collections, and very extensive ones, were still - 
.. lying at the India House : these also, at his request, were put at his dis- 
posal. The following notice accordingly appeared at p. 60 of the Á"- 
talogue.

collection brought home by Dr Wallich, principally with a view to the 
distribution of their duplicates. They will be indicated in the manner - 
noticed below.
