REPORT ON TWO BOTANICAL COLLECTIONS FBOM 



of the Orchidaceae comes first, Melastomaceae second, Compositar- third, and Rubiace;c 

 and Gramineae bracketed fourth. 



It is unfortunate that all the plants collected on the upper parts of Boraima have 

 been gathered in the last three months of the year. February brings to lloraima a few 

 bare trees (Appun, ' Unten den Tropen,' ii. p. 220): March brings copious Gesnerads into 

 flower, at least at the foot of the mountain (Boddani- "Whetham, ' Boraima ') ; and April is 

 a month producing more flowers than November (Siedel fide im Thurn in Trans. Linn. 

 Soc, ser. II. ii. p. 250) ; but I am unable to record anything collected above 5000 feet 

 during these months. 



In conclusion, my thanks for help are due to Messrs. McConnell, Quelch, and C. B. 

 Clarke, to my colleagues, and also to Professor T. Mclvenny Hughes and Dr. William 

 Pollard.
