iogue of Ku,.aun plants has been based on observations made in the field either bv 

 Messrs. H. G. Cban,p.on and W. J. Lambert or the writer. These obs.rvafons ex- 

 tended maany to ihe hill divisions, and in consequence, while the distribution of species 

 in the h,lls (wuh the exception of the Naini Tal division) is probably almost confplete 

 sim.Iar data were not available for any of the Bhabar divisions. It is sincerely haped' 

 that the pubUcat.on of this list will stimulate divisional forest officers to help to 

 complete he distribution by sending to Dehra Dun specimens of auy plants which 

 appear to have been erroneously omitted fro-n their divisions. Specimens confirming 

 tue existence of species of which no specimens from this area exist at Dehra Dun will 

 of course he doubly welcome. 



The total number of species contained in this list is 826 distributed over 87 

 famihes, and >f species which are sometimes herbaceous are excluded, the.e still remain 

 30o trees. o23 shrubs and 107 climbers. All these are indigenous to the area excepting 

 10 trees and 4 shrubs. ^ ^ 



The writer's thanks are due firstly to Messrs. R. S. Hole, c.i.e., and R. N Parker 

 for unstinted help m the herbarium ; secondly to Messrs. H. G. Champion, and J C 

 Lambert, for extensive not.s on the distribution of plants in the Ranikhot, Central
