Tours undertahen in the neighbourhood of Mussoorie.- — One of my plant 

 collectors was employed during the rainy season in procuring from Dehra Dun 

 and the Siwalik range specimens of certain plants required in connection with 

 my " Flora of the Upper Gangetic Plain." He was also sent, in company 

 with a trained collector belonging to Mr. Phillip Mackinnon, to Bok Hill in 

 Tehri-Garhwal, where many rare orchids were found, also a very curious and 

 rare Orobanchaceous plant, called Boscliniaclcia himalaica, found on the roots 

 of Rhododendron arboreum. Specimens of another very remarkable leafless 

 parasite, belonging to the same natural order, were sent to me from Deoban 

 beyond Chakrata, by Mr. B. B. Osmaston, It was originally discovered three 

 years ago by Mr. Gleadow, Deputy Director of the Forest School, and has 

 recently been described and published in the Journal of the Asiatic Society of 

 Bengal, by Dr. Prain and Mr. Gamble, under the name of Gleadovia ruhorum. 

 It is found abundantly on the roots of Rubus nivens, which forms a large por- 

 tion of the undergrowth in the forests on the northern slopes of the Deoban 

 range,
