plants on the Perak hills are represented oil Mount Ophir, which has been well explored by 
several botanical travellers and the plants described. 
Added to this my visit was very badly timed as very few plants are to be found in bloom 
towards the end oi the rainy season when they are making new growth ; doubtless a trip in 
the drv season would give much hotter results. Several Bornean plants are found in Perak 
which ha\ e hitherto been reported from I lie former place only. 
Below 4,000 feet elevation the Natural order best represented is the Ziugiberace® of 
which there arc several genera. 
tw arc pretty mimei-oua includm- two „ r time Boruoau spp. bur the genera 
liymonoplivllum and iriehomanes are represented by very few spy. 
'burns are represented by few genera, some Singapore sop, being sent, and the orchids 
hy; very common species.

Peninsula is appended.

iiiUn mat ion Ins intimate knowledge of Bel any enabled him to give me, and to all the officials 
in tim district, through which 1 travelled, for their assistance and the kind manner in which
