Burmese Flora and some of them are still under cultivation in the Botani- 

 cal garden here. 



12. The collections made by myself in 186G on the Andamans. Dr. 

 Heifer's collections from the same islands were unfortunately mixed up with 

 his Tenasserim plants. In order to avoid as much as possible the introduction 

 of such doubtful stations, I have preferred to look upon such plants invaria- 

 bly as derived from Tenasserim or from the Andamans respectively, in all 

 cases where specimens of the one or other regions already existed in the 

 herbarium here. 



13. A collection of plants made by the garden-collectors on various 

 islands of the Andaman and Nicobar islands during Mr. A. O. Hume's 

 ornithological cruise in 1873.
