37, 83, who mentions under his Clerodendron Hettae: -(specimen) 

 „mit Fruchtkelchen, aus denen die Steinfriiehte anscheinend schon 

 durch Vogel herausgepickt sind". So perhaps there is a migration 

 of birds in the apparent direction of dispersal, viz. N.-E. — S.-W. 



For the plant-dispersal of this regions we may, for the rest, 

 refer to some works, given in the bibliography [espec. nos. 6, 

 7, 8, 10, 20, 21, 24, 25 (p. 95)]. 



Finally we might say some things about the distribution of 

 the several genera: 



Geunsia is a Malayan and Philippine genus which has its 

 western limit in Singapore and Sumatra, and does not extend 

 to Br. India, China, Japan or countries east or south of N.-Guinea. 

 It is rather equally distributed over the archipelago. 



Callicarpa too, is chiefly Malayan. In Br. India occur 12 

 {Clarke), in Ceylon .1 species {Trimen). Formosa has 3 (Mat- 

 samara and Hagata), Australia 3 species {Bentham and v. 

 Mueller), whilst in the regions dealt with, are 38 species, of 

 which 26 occur in the Philippines (19 of them being endemic). 

 In each of the other islands or groupes of islands as mentioned 

 above there are 3— '7 species of Callicarpa. 



Premna is a large group, which has a wide extension in all 

 tropics of the Old World. In Br. India it is represented by 

 35 species (Clarke), in our regions totally distributed as follows: 

 Philippines 19 (12 of them endemic), Malay Peninsula 14 (8 of 

 them endemic), Java 13—15 (with 2 endemic species) and Su- 

 matra 10 (2 being endemic). 



ViTEX is also widely spread throughout British India (18 spec, 

 Clarke) ; Ceylon has 4 species, according to Trimen, Formosa 3 

 (M. and H.), all of them widely spread in tropical Asia, 

 Australia 4 (B. and v. M.). Within our regions the Philippines 

 possess 15 or 16 species (9 endemic), the Malay Peninsula 16 

 (3 or 4 end.), Borneo 14 (6 end.), Java 10 (3 end.), Sumatra 10 

 (1 end.), N.-Guinea 9 (3 end.) and Celebes 8 (.2 end.). 



Gmelina has its distribution in Br. India (4 spec, Clarke) and 

 Malaya (12 spec, of which 7 occur only in the Molucca-isl., 

 N.-Guinea or the countries eastward of them, and 1 also in 

 Australia); Australia has 3 species {B. and v. M.). 



Faradaya is nearly endemic in N.-Guinea, except for 2 species
