THE 



CALCUTTA JOURNAL 



OF 



NATURAL HISTORY. 



Descriptions of Malayan Plants, By William Jack. 

 Arranged according to their Natural Families from the 

 Malayan Miscellany, etc. 



In this reprint, Botanists are presented with the whole of the Bota- 

 nical writings of Mr. Wm. Jack, late of the Bengal Medical Service. 



A connected reprint of some sort appears necessary from the excel- 

 lence of the matter, the rarity of the Malayan Miscellanies, in which 

 the greater part appeared, and the very inconvenient subdivision of 

 those parts reprinted by Sir Wm. Hooker, rendering it necessary to 

 purchase the Companion to the Botanical Magazine, the Botanical 

 Miscellany and Journal of Botany, works of no small expense, and 

 otherwise not essential to a private library. 



The sources of the reprints are as follows : — 



1. Malayan Miscellanies, vols. 1 and 2. 



2. Roxburgh's Flora Indica, ed. Carey. 



3. Linnean Transactions, vol. 14. 



4. Companion to the Botanical Magazine, vol. 1, being the only 

 work in which we have met with the Third Memoir. 



We have made no use of the notes of Dr. Wallich, appended to some 

 of the Plants, either in Manuscript in the public copy of the Malayan 

 VOL. IV. NO. XIII. APRIL 1843. B
