microphyllum, Herveyi and stellatum. - An Andaman Islands species 
has also been included, Mimusops andamanensis. Some of the 
species, it will be noticed, bear the name given in the Calcutta 
Herbarium by Mr. L. R. Brace, formerly Curator ; but he merely 
gave names without descriptions. 
In the almost equally important Natural Order Hbenacez 
there are two genera with 42 species, of which 24 are new, viz., 
Maba Hierniana, venosa, olivacea, Clarkeana and perakensis ; Dios- 
pyros Wrayt, sub-rhomboidea, dumosa, Scortechini, Styraciformis, 
tristis, pauciflora, ellipsoidea, Wallichii, toposioides, brachiata, 
Kunstleri, nutans, reflexa, penangiana, rufa, areolata, Curtis, and 
glomerulata. 
The Natural Order Styracex gives two genera and 28 species, 
of which 25 belong to Symplocos. The new species are 8 in 
number, viz., Symplocos fulvosa, pulverulenta. monticola, Ridleyi, 
perakensis, Brandiana, penangiana, MScortechinii. As was the 
case with Myrsinese, so im Styracee also, the work has been facili- 
tated by the recently published Monograph by Herr Brand in 
Engler’s Pflanzenreich. 
in the Natural Order Oleaceex there are 5 genera with 22 species, 
of which 9 are new. These are: Jasminum Wrayi, Curtisit, 
longipetalum and Scortechinii; Osmantum Scortechinii ; Banocicrn 
paludosa and caudata; and Olea platycarpa and ardisioides, 
In this part, therefore, are described 5 Natural Orders with 24 
genera and 221 species. The number of species new to science are 
115, and two new species have been also described from regions 
adjacent to that to which the work refers. 
The paper will be published in full as an Extra Number 
of the Journal and Proceedings.
