found here on one female flower about 3 days old and 4 buds 
of different sizes all of them growing upon or very near the 
actual edge of the terrace. 
b. About 700 M. above sea level. Again we are on a tuff- 
terrace (an ancient riverbed) about 7 M. above the surface of 
the river, covered with rather young forest, in which several 
great trees are met with. The forest is very rich in vines. The 
place is almost daily visited by native women, collecting fire- 
wood. Many tracks of animals (probably chiefly pigs) ran through 
the locality, most of them parallel to the edge of the forest. 
The presence of monkeys, mice and pangolins, observed by 
myself, may be mentioned. 
During the time of observation, about 4 months, very nearly 
70 living buds and scores of dead 
ones, were found, forming 4 distinct 
groups, lying in a line about 60 M. 
long, parallel to the edge of the forest

upon the slope of a hill, consisting 
of tuff, about 50 M. above the river Si Anok, in a high forest, 
just cut down by the natives, preparing a plantation (ladang) 
there. The Malays told me, that several flowers had been found 
here earlier; by the time of my visit however only one bud 
(10 cM. across) could be discovered, and the growing place is now 
totally destroyed, the natives having burned out the whole place. 
d. About 1100 M. above sealevel. A hillside consisting ot 
_Mmassive andesite rocks (an old voleano) covered by a minimum 
quantity of earth and vegetable detritus. The slope ‘is very 
sheer, yet covered with ‘high trees. Many vines creep along the 
ground and through the trees. The Rafflesia buds are found 
about 30 M. inside the edge of the forest. A native path runs 
across the place, leading to a creek, apparently a drinking 
place, for wild animals. Natives regularly visit the place, and 
pigs are very common; tapirs live in the neighbourhood. This 
growing place has been known for a couple of years and has
