Uxtober 30,1911.) Bibliography of the Botany of British India, — 1xxxi 
The second part (II) will enumerate the books and papers 
describing the Botany of smaller areas which are included entirely 
or atleast for the greater part in one of the botanical regions 
recognised at present in India, viz.: The Eastern Himalayas, the 
Western Hymalayas, the Indus Plain, the Gangetic Plain, 
Malabar, the Deccan, Ceylon and Burma. ‘To these will be added, 
under separate headings, the botanically little known countries of 
Baluchistam and Nepal. For practical reasons we shall follow 
the alphabetical arrangement of the regions: 
1. Bauvcwistan, 
2. Burma, comprising Upper and Lower Burma, Chittagong and Assam 
of the old maps ‘+. 
3. Cryton, including the Maldive Islands. 
4. Deccan, comprising the whole table-land ef the Peninsula east of 
Malabar and south of the Gangetic and Indus Plains. 
We include the Goromandel Coast. 
5. Eastern Himataya,.extending from. Sikkim to the Mishmi Moun- 
tains in Upper Assam. 
6. Ganentic Pray, comprising the United Provinces and Bengal (ex- 
cept Chota Nagpore and Orissa), extending 
eastwards to the Burmese botanical region. 
7. Inpus Puary, including the plains of the Punjab, Sind, Rajputana, 
Cutch, and Gujarat (to the Narbada River). 
8. Matazar, comprising Gujarat (south of the Narbada), the Konkan, 
Kanara, Malabar proper (with Nilgiris and Palni Hills), 
Cochin, Travancore, and the Laccadive Islands. 
9. NeEpaL. 
10. Western Himataya, extending from Kumaon to Chitral. 
Part II will enable the botanist residing in any part of India 
, to find out without great trouble what has been published on the 
vegetation of his respective district. 
I shall be thankful for any additions, corrections or suggestions 
which may help to make the bibliography more useful than it is, 
perhaps, in its present form. It is quite possible that the prac- 
tical use of the list will reveal some deficiencies. 
I wish to: express my thanks to Mr. H. N. Dixon who kindly 
1 The plains of Assam and Sylhet do not properly belong to this botanical 
region ; but other considerations induced us to include them here. Our regions 
serve in this place a practical and not a strictly scientific purpose.
