CHAPTER II 



NOTES ON THE LARGER COLLECTIONS. 



Collection W. F, R. Suringar. 



Dr. J. Vakkenicr Suringar was so kind as to allow me to make 

 use of the diary written by his father Prof. W. F. R. Suringar 

 during his botanical investigations of the Dutch "West Indian 

 Islands in 1885. 



From these notes together with the data drawn from the labels 

 attached to the collected plants I was enabled to make the fol- 

 lowing list of the localities visited by Suringar and the numbers 

 of plants collected there.
