INTRODUCTION TO PAKT II. 



AFTER the Introduction to Part I was in print, it was found 

 advisable to extend the Part to 200 pages so as to end with a 

 Family and avoid the inconvenience of stopping in the middle 

 of a genus. The present Part, similarly, instead of ending at 

 p. 384, has been extended to p. 390 so as to complete the first 

 Sub-Family of the Leguminosae, and end at a definite point. 



Owing to its having, in consequence of the war, been found 

 advisable not to have the valuable Madras collections sent 

 home, the later genera have had to be done at home without 

 them. Fortunately, the Calcutta specimens had already been sent 

 home and were available. It is proposed to continue Part III 

 with such material as is available in this country.
