parts of West Australia will certainly produce interesting results 

 both floristic and phyto-geographic. 



Yet the richness of the flora of the south-western part of 

 the State is so great that my collections and observations contain 

 some additions to our knowledge. These I propose to publish as 

 a short series of contributions. 



I should like to use this opportunity to acknowledge the 

 extreme kindness extended to me by the Government of West 

 Australia and by several persons, amongst whom I wish especi- 

 ally to mention the Hon. W. Kingsmill, M. L. C; Mr. Cecil 

 Andrews, Director of Education ; Mr. W. Catton Grasby, 

 Editor of the Western Mail; Professor and Mrs. W. J. Dakin ; 

 Mr. Bernard H. Woodward, Director of the Perth Museum; 

 Mr. W. B. Alexander, Keeper of Biology, Perth Museum; Mr. 

 O. H. Sargent, Chemist at York; Mr. R. Strelitz, then Royal 

 Danish Consul; and Mr. Fred. A. Hadley, my excellent doctor. 

 I am also specially indebted to my good friend Mrs. Miriam DxWis, 

 proprietress of the St. Omer Hospital, who assisted me in collecting 

 in every possible way, and from whom I have later received a 

 valuable collection of herbarium specimens and seeds. My country- 

 man Mr. Erik Dorph-Petersen also contributed greatly by bring- 

 ing me numerous specimens of plants from the neighbourhood 

 of Perth.
