" If the Collection can be considered defective, 

 Dr. Horsfield imagines that it is only scanty in 

 such species as may be peculiar to the districts 

 which extend from the immediate confines of 

 the ocean to an elevation of 200 feet. On the 

 south coast the hills rise so abruptly from the 

 sea to an elevation of several hundred feet, 

 that probably few species were lost by those 

 shores not having been examined ; but along the 

 northern coast of the island, which in many 

 cases is low, and bounded by extensive plains 

 of sands, there possibly remains much to be 

 discovered." Maclcay's Annulosa Javanica,
