Introductory Note. 



The three parts of the Materials for a Flora of the Malay

 same style and form as the other parts of this work which were 

 brought out in the Journal of the Asiatic Society of Bengal, 

 by Sir George King, aided by other botanists. The first part 

 was published in July 1889 and the work has continued to the 

 present da} 7 , being now nearly completed to the end of the 

 Gamopetalae, leaving now only the Apetalae, to be completed. 

 The three volumes of the Monocotyledons were published respect- 

 ively on.
