Having bad occasion to assort the material of the natural order Scroph- 

 ularinese, preserved in the Herbarium attached to the Royal Botanic 

 Garden at Shibpur, the writer finds, as is usually the case, that there 

 are a number of species belonging to the order which are new to India 

 in the sense that they are not included in the account of the family 

 published by Sir J. D. Hooker in the Flora of British India, vol. iv. 

 (1884). In almost every case the new record is the result of the exten- 

 sion of the territories of the Indian Empire along its north-western and 

 its north-eastern frontiers. Following the practice, commenced now 

 fifteen years ago, of providing diagnoses of species thus found to be new 

 to the Indian flora, arranged according to the method of the Flora of 

 British India, for the benefit of members of the Society who may be 

 botanising near the Indian frontiers, the writer now presents the neces- 

 sary supplement to this particular natural family. Having regard, 

 however, to the needs of those who may be working in the field else- 

 where than on the frontiers, new localities for species already accounted 

 for in the Flora of British India are duly noted.
