1856.] Herbarium of 'the Calcutta Botanic Garden. 411 



None of the series are complete, but the number of Afghan and 

 Khasia plants is much greater than that of Bhotan or Mishmi ones, 

 There are also a great many excellent specimens from Malacca and 

 a few from the Coromandel Coast. The collection contains likewise 

 a considerable number of specimens from Sambalpore collected by 

 the late Major Kitto, some specimens from the Carnatic collected 

 by Mr. Griffith soon after his arrival in India, and a few of the 

 numbered specimens of the Wallichian herbarium which Mr. Griffith 

 seems to have brought with him from England. 



10. A small collection made by Lieut. Parish in the district of 

 Mandi in the Punjab Himalaya during the cold season of 1847-48. 

 The ferns of this collection are numerous and good. 



11. A large collection made in the Tenasserim provinces by Dr. 

 [Falconer, while on deputation (in the year 1849.) The specimens

 Mr. Oldham in 1851-52, and presented by him to the garden. Mr. 

 Oldham most liberally allowed me to select from his collection as 

 many specimens as I wished, so that we possess excellent illus- 

 trative series of specimens of many variable species. 



15. A large collection of Pegu plants made by Mr. Scott, head 

 gardener H. C. Bot. Garden, while on deputation in that country in 

 1855. The specimens are very good and the collection contains 

 many interesting plants.

 presented by Captain Moxon. 



17. A complete set of specimens from the Ceylon garden Her- 

 barium presented by Mr. Thwaites, the Director. This is a num-
