1912.) N. ANNANDALE: The Fauna of Parésnath Hill, 49 
he visited in 1848: ‘‘Of plants eminently typical of a moister 
atmosphere, I may mention the genera Bolbophyllum, Begoma, 
Aeginetia, Disporum, Roxburghia, Panax, Eugenia, Myrsine, 
Shorea, Mullettia, ferns, mosses and foliaceous lichens ; which 
appeared in strange association with such dry-climate genera 
as Kalanchoe, Pterosbermum, and the dwarf-palm, Phoenix. Add 
to this list the Berberis asiatica, Clematis nutans, Thalictrum 
glyphocarpum, 27 grasses, Cardamine, etc., and the mountain-top 
presents a mixture of the plants of a damp hot, a dry hot, and 
of a temperate climate, in fairly balanced proportions. The prime 
elements of a tropical flora were however wholly wanting on 
Paras-nath, where are neither peppers, Pothos, Arum, tall or climb- 
ing palms, tree-ferns, Guttiferae, vines, or laurels.”,—Himalayan 
Journals, vol. i, pp. 23-24, footnote.
