 sentea part of the fine collection of specimens .ade during his residence in that highly interestnrg coun- 

 try Nepal, in 1802-3; with many others found by him in Mysore, Cannara, Malabar, &c. 



Dr Walhch, the indefatigable superintendant of the Botanrc Garden at Calcutta, has enriched the 

 Herbarium with many valuable collections from Nepal and various parts of Indra, as well as from the 

 Calcutta Garden. 



Nepal collections, mcludmg both those sent by Dr. Hamilton and Dr. M'allich, may be es.inratcd at 

 about 1500 species, the greater part of which are entirely new. they are. however, referable to well 

 known, and chiefly European genera. No exact statement can be given of the proportrons wh.ch 

 the Monocotyledones and the Dicotyledones bear to each other; as our knowledge of some of the 

 orders belonging to the former class, such as the Graminea> and Cuperacew, wh.ch no doubt must 

 abound in these regions, is still very scanty. The following are the number of species m some of the 

 natural orders, and genera.
