they are not of scientific interest I have not noted them in this 

 essay. I am especially indebted to Surgeon-Major T. H. Hendley, 

 Rao Bahadur Thakuran Govind Singh Bahadur, of Chomu, and 

 Thakuran Ragonath Singh, of Achrole, for the excellent specimens 

 I received from Jeypore. These were the most interesting as well 

 as the most carefully collected specimens I received, including, as 

 they did, specimens of true P. (?raminis, and showing that the 

 zemindars are well acquainted with the difference between P. 

 graminis and P. rubi<jo-vera. Lieut. Manners-Smith was also kind 

 enough to send me specimens from time to time, from Ghilghit, 

 and these were of great and special interest. My thanks are also 

 due to Dr. George Watt, CLE., for the interest he has taken in 

 this matter, and for statistical information.
