INTRODUCTION 
A S the Bulletins contain much material of great 
interest to Planters and Horticulturalists in general, 
1 have endeavoured to form as complete an index 
as possible by including each article under its special 
heading. This has been a matter of extreme difficulty as 
many articles had no title so that in many cases one article 
may be found under one of two or three headings. 
Many of our readers may be interested in some spe- 
cial subject and may not want to purchase a complete 
volume to obtain the necessary literature, so that I have 
given the Volume, the Month and the page in nearly 
every case. Should they desire some particular article, 
it will now only be necessary to write to the Botanic 
Gardens giving Volume and Month (by the way, enclosing 
the cost of same). 
As the Bulletin has been edited largely for the help 
of Planters in general, 1 have also endeavoured to keep all 
the articles on Para Rubber by themselves. This method 
should greatly facilitate the reference to articles required 
by Planters which have appeared in the Bulletins. 
I trust this has not been a labour in vain and that it 
will supply a long felt want.
