434-439. — Jungermania ; more than 6 species. 



440. — An articulated parasite, if not a Viscum ; I have not yet buo- 



oeeded in discovering the flower, although it haa seed similar to 



the two other species of Viscum. 

 441. — Pontinalis. 

 4 i2. — Marchantia . 

 443-449. — ^Polypodium, 11 species. 

 450-452. — Aspidium, 3 species. 

 453-464 — Asplenium, 7 species. 

 465-468. — Pteris, 4 species. 

 469, 470 — Adiantum, 3 species. 

 471. — Acrostichum . 



Lichens and Musoi a great variety ; one Boletus and some other 

 Fungi. I have observed one Conferva, and a Polypus, scarcely to be 

 distinguished from a water-plant ; the Hower-like animalcule becomes, 

 when growing old, incrustated with the house of a snail. It is found 

 in water-brooks. 



P. S. — My researches have been as yet confined almost entirely to 

 the mere environs of Ootacamund. The sides of the hills towards the 

 foot, in the deeper valleys, contain a great variety of purely Asiatic 

 species and genera ; but my other engagements and even want of the 

 necessary books, have prevented my examining and classifying them. 

 I have therefore not enumerated here a great number of plants, iuolud>- 

 ing all the gi-asses, which I have actually collected.
