* In the preparation of his very valuable list of Chutia Nagpur plants, Lieu- 
tenant-Colonel Wood, as he has explained in a letter which accompanies it, has 
included not only every species observed or collected by himself, but every plant 
from the province collected by other botanists of which he has been able to see 
specimens or for which he has been able to find a record. In the case of one work 
in particular, Campbell and Watt’s Catalogue of the plants of the Sontha 
Pergunnas—a very careful and reliable paper — he has cited the vernacular (San- 
tali) names when such are given. 
Finding from this letter that it was the author’s desire to provide botanists 
with as complete a list as possible of Chutia Nagpur plants, the Editor has, in 
furtherance of this desire, attempt, to render it still more complete by including 
in the list every species obtained in Chutia Nagpur, of which there are, up to the 
time of going to press, any specimens in the Calcutta Herbarium. 
It would not have been difficult in the case of not a few of these intercalated 
species to add vernacular names and economic notes like those given by the 
author of the list for species actually collected by him. Having regard, however, 
to the fact that such notes must have lacked the authority that accompanies the 
accurate economic references and the critical vernacular connotations made in the 
field by so careful and competent a Collector as Lieutenant*Colonel Wood, it has 
been deemed advisable only to intercalate the names of such species as are known 
to occur in Chutia Vagpur, althou^'h they have not been met with by Lieutenant- 
Colonel Wood ; this, in fact, is what the author himself has done in the case of 
his own intercalations, except, as has already been explained, as regards the 
plants recorded by Campbell and Watt. As the list stands, therefore, it has the 
double advantage of giving as complete an enumeration as is yet possible of the 
plants of Chutia Nagpur, while leaving the painstaking and excellent work of the 
author with reference to the species collected by him untouched. In the few 
cases where plants collected by Lieutenant-Colonel Wood in Chutia Nagpur are 
not present in Herb., Calcutta, the fact is intimated in an editorial note within [ ] 
square brackets,— Rec, Botanical Survey,
