As may naturally be supposed, from being the nearest Govern- 
ment Botanist to New Guinea, I am frequently being called upon to 
determine plant specimens from there. It is my intention, therefore,

tions of all new species; also. such. notes upon the older ones as 
ae deemed advisable whenever plant specimens from that colony 
reach me.
