Mr. Maxwell T. Masters, the Sub-Curator, and Lecturer 

 on Botany to St. George's Hospital, London, nay thanks 

 are especially due, for the very valuable information and 

 assistance he has kindly contributed throughout. 



With regard to the plan on which these Chapters have 

 been put together, Meyen's ' Botanical Geography' has 

 supplied the framework of the greater part, the botanical 

 details being generally derived from other sources.
