BOTANICAL INFORMATION. 49 
2,000 species from the Tenasserim provinces. 
1,000 ,, from the province of Assam. 
1,2200 ,, from the Himalayan range in the Mishmee 
country. 
1,2700 ,, from the same great range, in the country of 
Bootan. 
1,000 ,, from the neighbourhood of Calcutta. 
1,200 ,, fromthe Naga Hills at the extreme east of 
Upper Assam, from the Valley of Hookhong, the district of 
Mogam, and from the tract of the Irrawadi between Mogam 
and Ava 
To dièse will be added the collection made under the super- 
intendence of Lieutenant Kittoe, in the forests of Cuttack. 
teps have been taken to procure additions from the 
Himalayan range about Darjiling, from the Rajmahal 
Hills and the coast of Arracan. So that it is confi- 
dently expected, that although a great reduction in number 
will occur on the abstraction of forms common to ten or 
mote of the collections enumerated, the Author's materials 
will even then exceed those formerly distributed by Dr. Wal- 
lich, under the orders of the same great patrons of botanical 
science. 
The publication will be conducted on the principles of 
Natural Classification, and will include all the undescribed 
forms, as well as those that may happen at present to be 
imperfectly known. The attempt will be made to render it 
as complete in the elucidation of the Natural Families, and 
the Genera of Plants of British India, as the Author’s means 
will allow. It is not intended that the work should be 
purely systematic; it will embrace details of structure and 
formation, and enter into the interesting subject of Botanical 
Geography. 
It will be illustrated by quarto or folio uncoloured Plates, 
in the best style of Lithography, from Sketches by the Au- 
thor. The accompanying letter-press will be in octavo ; the 
numbers will appear at irregular intervals. 
It would be needless to attach a limit to Zen publication
