472 Botanical Notes. [No. 5. 



marigolds were growing in the paddy clearings, also a small yellow 

 everlasting flower, and occasionally I noticed a patch of the red 

 plumbago. 



On descending again into the plain, there was a daily repetition of 

 the plants already specified. The only trees not noticed before 

 were Jonesia, Citrus, Panax, and a Cinnamomum, to which I may 

 add a fine species of " CalantJie" and one of that curious order 

 Cytinacece. 



We struck the Houngdrau river at Meetan on the 22nd day after 

 leaving Moulmein, thence dropped down the river to a place called 

 Kyilc, from which lies the path leading to the top of Moolee-it, a 

 mountain according to Major Tickell's measurement some 7000 

 feet in height. My chief object in undertaking this journey was to 

 make the ascent of this mountain ; but it was not my good fortune 

 to do so. I here left Major Tickell, and dropping down the river in a 

 light canoe, reached Moulmein in two days. 



Note oy Dr. T. Thomson. 



Excellent specimens collected by Mr. Parish have enabled me (at 

 his request) to introduce into this most interesting account of the 

 vegetation of the Attarau river, the names of the Homalium JEscu- 

 lus and Gmelina. I am further responsible for the name Duabanglia 

 which I know from the "Wallichian Herbarium to be a native of the 

 province, and which I think I can recognize beyond mistake in Mr. 

 Parish's description. I can suggest no other alterations save that 

 the Padoulc of Pegu and Tenasserim is, I believe, rather Pterocarpus 

 dalbergioides than P. indica as stated in the text, and that the tree 

 with light birch-like foliage mentioned at page 460 is probably Cono- 

 carpus acuminata.
