viii FLORA OF MADRAS. 



valuable, recent collections were received from Professor E. Barnes 

 and the Botanical Assistant at the Government Museum, Madras, 

 Mr. P. V. Mayuranathan. To all these thanks are due and here 

 expressed. 



It was Mr. Gamble's practice to publish explanatory notes in the 

 4 Kew Bulletin ' soon after the appearance of each part a practice 

 which the Editor has kindly permitted me to continue. These notes 

 appeared as follows : 



For Part I in ' Kew Bulletin,' 1916, p. 57. 

 II 1918, p. 222. 



III 1920, p. 49. 



IV 1921, p. 312. 



Parts V and VI in ' Kew Bulletin,' 1924, p. 235. 

 Part VIII in ' Kew Bulletin,' 1928, p. 281. 

 IX 1931, p. 257. 



X 1935, p. 143. 



Mr. Gamble appears to have made no observations for Part VII. 



For Part XI the notes will be found on p. ix below. 



It was intended that the map accompanying the final part should 

 include every locality mentioned in the work, but a very few have 

 been omitted -as they could not be traced, and three or four to avoid 

 further congestion on the map. Absolute accuracy is not claimed 

 for every item indicated because many of the places cited are not 

 recorded on any published map ; their positions are sufficiently 

 proximate, however, to make it easy to locate them in situ.
