[The following- lists have been compiled from Father 

 Bryant's article, since they will summarize in a convenient 

 form the results obtained. They will also clearly show the 

 gaps in our knowledge of the botanical identification of the 

 native drugs. 



It is highly desirable that a competent chemist should 

 undertake an investigation into the active principles of the 

 more important drugs herein enumerated ; and all possiljle 

 assistance in the supply of material or information would be 

 gladly rendered by the Natal Museum. — Editor.]
