 Collections of the Botanical Survey of the Government of For-

 Tokyo. Since the publication of the Enumeratio Plantarum 

 Formosanarutn and Flora Montana Formosse, a large number 

 of collections was sent to the present author for determination 

 by the Government of Formosa. As he found it very unsatis- 

 factory to work up so big a collection only in the Herbarium 

 at Tokyo, he thought it very necessary for his work to see all 

 the plants represented in the principal herbaria of the West. 

 With this intention he first went to Kew, taking all his mate- 

 rials with him. There he pursued his work with specimens of 

 the floras to which the flora of Formosa is more or less related. 

 After finishing his work at Kew, he went to the Herbarium at 

 Paris, then to Dahlem, and finally to St. Petersburg. During 

 his work in these herbaria, he was successful in identifying 

 some plants with species preserved in them. Still, many of his 

 collections are not represented there. It is, therefore, as he 

 says, highly probable that they are species not yet described. 

 The plants mentioned in the present work are mostly of species 

 newly described, and, if not, they are new to the flora of 

 Formosa. In this work, the author has endeavoured to men- 

 tion all the species recorded from Formosa, which have 

 appeared in different publications, since the issue of the Enu- 

 meratio Plantarum Formosanarum and Flora Montana For- 

 mos£e. So that, practically speaking, the work is an exhaustive 

 supplement bringing the above mentioned publications up to 

 date. As the total number of the plants of the island known 

 to us up to date, he has given 2660 species belonging to 336 

 genera and 156 families. The following list shows those genera 

 which are newly added to the Flora of the island :— 

 Isopyrum Allophyllus Bupleurum 



Brasenia Pometia Pimpinella 



Uvaria Alhizzia Phellopterus 



Cochlearia Pirus Oreomyrrhi$
