378 trees of 18 feet aud more. 

 2,728 woody plants of 2 feet to 18 feet, 

 about 27,342 smaller plants — mostly small woody seedlings. 



30,4-18 in all. 

 or to the acre 9(5,660 plants. 



The woody species of two feet in height or more, found on 

 this area, are enumerated in the list opposite. In point of in- 

 dividuals, the following among them were most alumdant : — 



Anisophyllea disticha . . . . . . . . ,345 



Cinnamomum iners .. .. .. ., .. 321 



Rhodamnia irinervia . . . . . . . . 242 



Elaeocarpus Mastersii . . . . . . . . 199 



Gironniera nervosa . . . . . , . . . , IQQ 



Arthrophyllum diversifolium . . . . . . 164 



Palaquium hancanum . , . . . . . . 144 



Eugenia grandis .. .. .. ., .. 139 



Timonius ivallichianiis .. ., .. .. HO 



Macaranga triloba . . . . . . . . . . 107 



etc., the rest under 100. 



It is particularly worthy of mention tliat almost all of these 

 •have more or less fleshy fruits which are distributed by birds or 

 monkeys. 



It is interesting that the Eubiaceae which in species is so 

 varied in high rain-forests is but the tenth order down the list, that 

 the Anonaceae is still further down and that the Ternstroemiaceae 

 which in the damp Gleichenia-gvovm secondary forest of Sing- 

 apore is so abundantly represented in Adinandra, should be but the 

 ninth order of the list. It is probably correct to say that the re- 

 latively good drainage of the bit of the secondary jungle under study 

 accounts for the low place of the Ternstroemiaceae and for the 

 abundance of the orders Urticaceae, Myrtaceae, Tiliaceae, Sapota- 

 ceae and Lauraceae, as well as for the absence of Gleichenia, 

 Nepenthes, etc.
