Singapore. in Penang, and Slam, Iwo hundred and Ihirly-nine sheels 

 (nos. 104-ê{42) are of spécimens collected in Siam, many near Bangkok, 

 and soine in the province of Angkor (mostly dated 1859). Several of 

 ihese, liowever, though appearing by nairie in Ihe manuscript list, are 

 not to be found in Ihe Herbarium. They were prpbably poor spécimens 

 or too much damaged to be laid in and incorporaled in the generalcöl- 

 lections. The hsl Iherefore is a complète record of spécimens received, of 

 which some were put aside. This able diplomatist is not to be confused 

 with Sir Richard Schomburgk, who collected in N. Australia and Poly- 

 nesia. 



Teysmann. J. E. — A set of Malayan plants, mostly froin the Dutch 

 possessions, but including some collected in Siara. received at Kevv in 

 .1878. 



Wray, Leonard, Junr. — His Malayan collections (1884-1895) include 

 some plants from the Kedah and Patani districts, north of Ihe Siamese 

 ierriloi-y visited by Mr. H. N. Ridley. 



Zimmermann, Dr. Alhrecht. — A set recenlly purchased for the Kew 

 Herbarium, and at présent being sorted and laid in. The collection inclu- 

 des many plants collected in Siam, in the area extending round 

 Bangkok. 



The only important contributions to the botany of Siam, which have 

 been published, include a few papers by Mr. H. N. Ridley in the Journal 

 of the Linnean Society and in récent volumes of the Journal of Botany. 

 and an account of the Flora of Koh Chang, investigated by the Danisli 

 Scientific Expedition of 1899-1900, and now being written up in the 

 pages of the Botanisk Tidsskrift of Kopenhagen, from May 1901 to the 

 présent date, by Mr. J. Schmidt, with several co-workers. This useful list 

 is referred to throughout in the abbreviated form of « F. K. C. « 



Two extensive local floras include also some Siam plants, and are fre- 

 quently quoted : 



Sir J. D. Hooker, Flora of British India (1872-1897), — cited as Fl. 

 Brit. Ind. 



L. Pierre, Flore forestière de la Cochinchine (1880-1899), — cited as 

 Fl. For. Cor.h. 



The arrangement of familles and gênera is that of Engler and Prantl in 

 Die Natürlichen Pflanzenfamilien. Under each genus the species are 

 given alphabetically, as in Mr. W. B. Hemsley's Index Florae Sinensis. 

 and they are numbered consecutively from first to last. The native Sia^ 

 raese and Malay names are frequently given.
