In a collection of plants from Great Coco, an island thirty miles 

 north of N". Andaman, are complete examples of a species of Glypto- 

 petalum nearly related to G. zeylanictim, Thw. This plant was pre- 

 viously collected, but only in fruit, either in Tenasserim or the An da- 

 mans by Heifer* and an example of the gathering (Heifer n. 1973) 

 was described by Kurz in this Journal (vol. xli, [1872], pt. 2, p. 299) 

 as Euonymus calocarpus, Kurz. The same plant (specimens also incom- 

 plete) has been reported from Kondil (Nicobars) by Calcutta garden 

 collectors, and this gathei'ing, along with a plant from Great Nicobar 

 (No vara 188, Jelinek 245 ; not represented at Calcutta), has been 



* This gentleman, as members are aware, was assassinated in North Andaman ; 

 his collections were disposed of in Europe and distributed thence; the circumstances 

 of his decease rendered it impossible to differentiate positively his Tenasserim from 

 his Andamans specimens. Kurz believed this gathering (n. 1973) to be from Tenas- 

 serim, and Lawson [F. B. I. i, 612) gives the same locality ; I am not aware, however, 

 what authority these authors had for this definite decision, the Herh. Calcutta 

 specimen on which Kurz based his description yields none.
