be able to complete even the meagre account of the Flora of which the 

 first instalment is now submitted. In spite, however, of this consi- 

 deration, I think it better to begin at the beginning. The orders will 

 therefore be taken up pretty nearly in the sequence followed in the 

 Genera Plantarum of Bentham and Hooker, and in the Flora of British 

 India of the latter distinguished botanist. The natural orders now 

 submitted are. Hanunculacece, Dilleniacece, Magnoliacece, Menispermacecd, 

 NympJioeacece, Gapparidece, and Violarece. The order Anonacece should 

 have come between Magnoliaceai and Menispermaceoe ; but, on account 

 of its extent and difficulty, I have been obliged to postpone its elabora- 

 tion pending the receipt of further herbarium material. It will, how- 

 ever, it is hoped, soon be taken up. 



The papers will be published in full in the Journal, Part II.
