 ciently numerous to be included as collections in this list, have been

 can, by the Rev. J. Parry from Jessore, by the Rev. Mr. Schmid 

 from the Nilgherry Hills, by Col. Madden from the Western Hima-

 Blytt, an eminent Norwegian botanist, to Mr. Griffith, and received 

 from Dr. McClelland in 1856. 



3. A large collection of European grasses, the source of which 

 I have not yet been able to trace. The specimens have printed 

 tickets attached and were probably purchased by Dr. Wallich.

 M. DeCandolle to Dr. Wallich, but unfortunately for the most part 

 in very bad preservation.
