434-439. — Jungermania ; more than 6 species. 



440. — An articulated parasite, if not a Yiscum ; I have not yet suc- 

 ceeded in discovering the flower, although it has seed similar to 

 the two other species of Yiscum. 



441. — FontinaHs. 



442 . — Marchantia . 



448-449. — Polypodium, 11 species. 



450-452.— Aspidium, 3 species. 



453-464. — Asplenium, 7 species. 



465-468. — Pteris, 4 species. 



469, 470 — Adiantum, 3 species. 



471. — Acrostichum. 



Lichens and Musci a great variety ; one Boletus and some other 



Fimgi. I have observed one Conferva, and a Polypus, scarcely to be 



distinguished from a water-plant ; the flower-hke animalcule becomes, 



when growing old, incrustated with the house of a snail. It is found 



in water- brooks. 



P. S. — My researches have been as yet confined almost entirely to 

 the mere envii'ons of Ootacamund. The sides of the hills towards the 

 foot, in the deeper valleys, contain a great variety of purely Asiatic 

 species and genera ; but my other engagements and even want of the 

 necessary books, have prevented my examining and classifying them. 

 I have therefore not enumerated here a great number of plaiits, includ- 

 ing all the grasses, which I have actually collected.
