XXXV.— A Collection of Plants from Sara- 

 wak. B)^ E. D. Merrill, Berkeley, California. 



In the early part of 1923, Dr. E. Mjoberg, then Director 

 of the Sarawak Museum at Kuchiiig, sent to me at the Bureau 

 of Science in Manila a small collection of plants that he had 

 prepared incidental to his field work in Entomology and 

 Zoology. This was followed by a second similar collection 

 which was forwarded to me at Berkeley, California, in 1924, 

 after my transfer to University of California. These two 

 collections form the basis of the present paper. 



The ferns collected by Dr. Mjoberg were for the most part 

 sent to the late Prince Eoland Bonaparte in Paris, this being 

 true of all the ferns in the second collection mentioned above ; 

 Fifty-five species of ferns and fern allies have been reported 

 upon by him^. The orchids in the first lot received were sent 

 by me to Mr. Oakes Ames, Boston. Massachusetts, and those 

 of the second collection wei e sent to him direct by Dr. Mjoberg. 

 This accounts for the fact that but very few ferns and no 

 orchids are enumrated in this paper. In the first collection 

 received the orchids comprised approximately fifty per cent of 

 the entire collection and this is probably true also of the 

 second collection. 



The material herein considered was collected at different 

 times on Mounts Dulit, Matang, Murud, Poi. Penrissen, and 

 Gadin, chiefly from higher altitudes, together with some low 

 altitude material from the vicinitj' of Kuching, and at liundu, 

 Sadong. Santubong. Bidi Caves, and near the foot of Mount 

 Poi.
