THE BOTANY OF THE KACHIN HILLS NORTH-EAST OF MYITKYINA. 285 
eastward into China and into Eastern Indo-China, beyond Indo-China 
into the Malay countries. 
The list in which the facts of distribution are shown is followed by 
a synoptical view of the distributional features from which the various 
influences may be readily calculated. In the synoptic table, the 
words Shan and Assam are, for the sake of brevity, used in place 
of the expressions “Eastern Indo-China'' and Arracan-Assarti’' 
respectively. 
A sketch map, to show the geographical relationship of the Kachin 
Hills to adjacent areas has been added. This map is based on Stieler’s 
Hand- Atlas, maps No. 66 and No. 67 ; the only deviation from those 
maps being that the Upper Irrawaday, eastern branch, is in the sketch 
shown as not rising in Tibet. When Stieler's maps were pub- 
lished it was supposed to do so ; this is now known not to be the case.
