  The 
  figures 
  after 
  the 
  name 
  of 
  the 
  plants 
  indicate 
  the 
  num- 
  

   ber 
  of 
  fruits 
  and 
  seeds 
  collected. 
  Subsequently 
  I 
  found 
  on 
  

   the 
  shore 
  some 
  young 
  shoots 
  of 
  the 
  following 
  species 
  : 
  — 
  

  

  Erythrina, 
  sp. 
  Two 
  Cyperaceae. 
  

  

  Calophyllum 
  inophyllum, 
  L. 
  Ipoinoea 
  pes-capraa, 
  Sio. 
  

  

  Cerbera 
  odallam, 
  Gaertn. 
  Gymnotbrix 
  elegans, 
  Biise. 
  

  

  Hernandia 
  sonora, 
  L. 
  Scsevola 
  Koenigii, 
  Vahl. 
  

  

  As 
  was 
  to 
  be 
  supposed, 
  all 
  the 
  plants 
  and 
  seeds 
  met 
  with 
  

   on 
  the 
  littoral 
  of 
  Krakatao, 
  with 
  the 
  exception 
  of 
  Gym.no- 
  

   thrix 
  elegans, 
  a 
  grass 
  common 
  in 
  Java, 
  belong 
  to 
  the 
  list 
  of 
  

   species 
  which 
  stock 
  newly 
  emerged 
  coral-islands. 
  

  

  In 
  the 
  interior 
  of 
  the 
  island, 
  upon 
  the 
  mountain 
  proper, 
  I 
  

   found 
  the 
  following 
  species 
  : 
  — 
  

  

  Phanerogams. 
  

  

  Wollastonia, 
  sp. 
  Gymnotbrix 
  elegans, 
  Biise, 
  

  

  Two 
  species 
  of 
  Conyza. 
  Phraginites 
  Roxburghii, 
  N. 
  ah 
  E. 
  

  

  Senecio, 
  sp. 
  Tournefortia 
  argentea, 
  L. 
  

   Scaevola 
  Koenigii, 
  Vahl. 
  

  

  Ferns. 
  

  

  Gymnogrammecalomelanos.A'rtit//*. 
  Nepbrodium 
  calcaratum, 
  Hook. 
  

  

  Blecbnum 
  orientale, 
  L. 
  fiaccidum, 
  Hook. 
  

  

  Acrosticbum 
  scandens, 
  J. 
  Sm. 
  Pteris 
  aquibna, 
  L., 
  var. 
  

  

  aureurn, 
  Cav. 
  marginata, 
  Bory. 
  

  

  Pteris 
  longifolia, 
  L. 
  Onycbium 
  auratum, 
  Kaulf. 
  

   Nepbrolepis 
  exaltata, 
  Schott. 
  

  

  The 
  determination 
  of 
  the 
  Ferns 
  is 
  due 
  to 
  the 
  kindness 
  of 
  

   Dr. 
  W. 
  Burck. 
  

  

  The 
  list 
  gives 
  rise 
  to 
  the 
  following 
  observations. 
  

  

  First, 
  it 
  is 
  seen 
  that 
  the 
  new 
  flora 
  of 
  the 
  interior 
  of 
  Kraka- 
  

   tao 
  * 
  is 
  entirely 
  different 
  from 
  that 
  of 
  the 
  littoral, 
  since 
  there 
  

   are 
  only 
  two 
  species 
  met 
  with 
  both 
  on 
  the 
  shore 
  and 
  the 
  

   mountain. 
  Then 
  the 
  presence 
  of 
  four 
  species 
  of 
  Composita? 
  

   merits 
  notice. 
  It 
  can 
  hardly 
  be 
  doubted 
  that 
  their 
  seeds 
  have 
  

   been 
  carried 
  to 
  Krakatao 
  by 
  the 
  wind, 
  contrary 
  to 
  the 
  opinion 
  

   generally 
  held 
  in 
  botanical 
  geography, 
  according 
  to 
  which 
  the 
  

   seeds 
  of 
  Composite 
  have 
  hardly 
  ever 
  been 
  known 
  to 
  be 
  

  

  * 
  I 
  also 
  found 
  two 
  mosses 
  on 
  Krakatao. 
  Having 
  sent 
  them 
  to 
  Dr. 
  v. 
  d. 
  

   Sande 
  Lacoste 
  at 
  Amsterdam 
  with 
  a 
  request 
  that 
  be 
  would 
  determine 
  

   them, 
  I 
  hoped 
  to 
  learn 
  their 
  names 
  on 
  my 
  return 
  to 
  Europe. 
  On 
  arriving 
  

   in 
  Holland 
  I 
  became 
  acquainted 
  with 
  the 
  sad 
  news 
  of 
  the 
  death 
  of 
  Dr. 
  v. 
  

   d. 
  Sande 
  Lacoste, 
  which 
  had 
  taken 
  place 
  during 
  my 
  voyage 
  to 
  Europe. 
  

   It 
  will 
  be 
  sufficient 
  to 
  state 
  here 
  that 
  the 
  two 
  mosses 
  in 
  question 
  do 
  

   not 
  play 
  any 
  important 
  part 
  in 
  the 
  restocking 
  of 
  Krakatao.
