* Adi ant mu caudatum Linn. ; H, S. 735 ; B. P. ii. 1243. 
On old walls about Calcutta, Chandernagore, Shibpur and else- 
where, rare. 
This species is not cited by Voigt as occurring in our area and is 
recorded by Roxburgh as having been introduced to the Calcutta 
garden by H. T. Colebrooke. There is a manuscript note in Herb., 
Calcutta, by Kurz, to the effect that though it had been collected near 
Shibpur by Mr. John Scott, Kurz had never met with it himself. 
Besides Scott's Shibpur record, however, the writer is able to add one 
or two from Calcutta and one from Chandernagore. There is, 
however, little doubt that the species should be considered in our area 
only an introduced or at most a casual species.
