A BOTANICAL TOUR IN THE SOUTH LUSHAi HILLS. 
Gmelina arborea Roxb* Bamboos formed a. very conspicuous feature 
of the jungle but none were found in flower. 
Fort Lungleh itself is situated on a ridge at an elevation of 
3,500 feet. In the list, when Fort Lungleh is given as the locality of 
collection, the altitude is not mentioned, but is to be taken as about 
3 000 bet. The approximate altitude of other localities is given in 
most cases. 
For much help in identifying the species of the ollection generally 
the writer is specially indebted to Major Prain. The list of orchids 
is made up to a small extent from specimens collected by the writer, 
but mostly from living plants collected by Lieut Bailey for his own 
study. Examples of each species in Lieut. Bailey^s collection were 
very generously given by him to the writer, who forwarded them to 
Mr. Pantling of the Government Cinchona Department. Thethanks 
of the writer are due to Mr. Pantling for kindly identifying those 
that were sent to him. 
In the list the number within brackets, when present, after the 
name of each species is the field number. The sketch map at the 
end of the note shows the route and the posHion of Lungleh. For a 
map showing the relative position of the Lusbai Hills to their surround- 
ings the reader is referred to Pottinger and Prain’s note on the 
Botany of the Kachin Hills, No, 11 of the Records, page 310.
