Witli the laat part of tlies© Materials the account of the Bucifi^SA 
of the Malayan Peninstila was concl udod ; and in the present part that 
of the Cahjcifiorm is begun. M7 progress has (owing to the press of 
official and of other work) been even slower than I anticipated when I 
began the pnbUcation of these Maienala now more than seven years 
ago. I therefore invoked the aid of my excellent friend and colleague 
Dr. D, Prain, and he, in response to my appeal, generously ntidertook 
the elaboration of the important family of Leguminosm which forms so 
large a portion of the present paper. It is hoped that on© more con- 
tribution similar in size to the present one will suffice to complete the 
account of the CafyciJloriB^ and so to bring the whole series aboat half 
way towards completion.
