PRETORIA, 1st March, 1921. 

 SIR, 



I have the honour to transmit herewith for publication the 

 manuscript of a paper by Messrs. Aitken and Gale, entitled " A 

 Reconnaissance Trip through North-Eastern Zululand," and I have 

 to recommend that the paper be printed as No. 2 of " The Memoirs 

 of the Botanical Survey of South Africa." 



The work has been carried out by Messrs. Aitken and Gale under 

 the supervision of Professor J. W. Bews, M.A., D.Sc., of the Natal 

 University College, Pietermaritzburg, and its important and 

 interesting characters are mentioned by Professor Bews in his 

 covering letter. 



It is clear from Messrs. Aitken and Gale's paper that further 

 work in this region will repay investigation, and Professor Bews is 

 making arrangements accordingly. 



I have the honour to be, 



Sir, 

 Your obedient Servant, 



I. B. POLE EVANS, 

 Director, Botanical Survey of South Africa. 



To 



The Secretary for Agriculture, Pretoria.
