( 115 ) 
are very abundant e. g. in the lower mountain woods of the Panger- 
ango. In the highest forests in the summit of the Pangerango at an 
altitude of 3000 in. the genus Glochidion is completely wanting. 
(Comp, stomach contents Nr. 5870a, Criniger, etc.). 
Of the genus Antidesma there occur in Java, in addition to 
the much cultivated A. Bunias Linn., a number of tree like wild 
species especially in the lower mountain forests. A very common 
small forest-tree, bearing profuse fruit, and occurring in the mountain 
forests of the Pangerango is e. g. Antidesma tetrandrum 
Bl. (Comp, stomach contents Nr. 6143a, Cyanops). 
Loranthaceae. The genera Loranthus and Elytranthe are 
represented in Western Java, among others also in the Pangerango by 
Loranthus lepidotus Bl., which at an altitude of 0—2500 m. 
occurs very commonly as a parasite on the most widely different 
species of trees, and further by Elytranthe globosa (Roxb.) 
Erigler and E. a v e n i a ( Bl.) Bugler. (See stomach contents Nr. 6180a, 
Chloropsis). 
Moraceae. The genus Ficus is represented in Java by more 
than 80 wild-growing species of which some are trees, some are 
shrubs and a few are climbing-plants. 
A large number of species live in their youth for a time epithytiq- 
ally. Numerous Ficus species occur in the mountain-forests of the 
Pangerango and a few species ascend to the forests on the highest 
summit. 
Among the very common, richly fruiting arborescent species of 
the lower Pangerango forests, the following may be mentioned, which 
occur also elsewhere in Java: F. toxic aria Linn., Ficus Ribes Reinw. 
and Ficus variegata Bl. 
Myristicaceae. — Knema laurina Bl. and Knema glauca 
Bl. are two species of nutmeg trees which occur also in the forests 
on the lower slopes of the Pangerango. They generally do not ascend 
in Western Java higher than 1200 M. above sea-level. (Compare 
stomach contents Nr. 5857a Carpophaga). 
Myrsinaceae. — Embelia Ribes Burm. is a woody climber, 
of frequent occurrence in the whole of Western Java and for instance 
also in the lower woods of the Pangerango $ it bears fruit very 
copiously. (See stomach contents Nr. 5646a, Pycnonotus).
