enough for the higher regions of this mighty range (4000-4200 m.). 

 In Herman, M. Bornmuller explored Kuh Sirg and Kuh Tupar. 

 He reached 3920 m. on the former, and 3300 m. on the latter, but 

 hoped to get to the summit of Kuh Jupar (4300 m.) as soon as the 

 season would allow. On Kuh Jupar the rocks were carpeted with 

 cushions of THonysia curviflora, each covered with hundreds of the 

 most brilliant flowers, whilst large masses of Ephedra sp. formed 

 thick woods between 2900 and 8000 m., which were visible at a 

 great distance. M. Bornmuller intends to stay in Kerman till 

 autumn and to continue the exploration of the high mountain 

 flora. Then he wishes to go to Bushir or to Bender Abbas, and to 

 visit the Hamrm Hills between Bagdad and Mossul and the Syrian 

 desert during the spring of 1893.
