Dear Symington, 
Thanks for your '{'( in FRO 46/54., and the parcel 
of specimens returned. 
Burn-Murdoch luckily collected with Singapore 
Field Nos., and our accession register shows him to have 
been.^Kuantan about June 16th to June ?5rd., collecting 
about Beserah, "Balok", and "Bukit Kapis, Balok”. On the 
label of the specimen of Cryptocoryne the word "Kapis’ 1 
has either been written su oy Burkill, and the K changed 
to a T, or vice versa, I cannot be sure. But the register 
shows that he was both at this place and at Beserah on the 
same day, so I hardly think he could have got anywhere 
near Gunong Tapis. I believe yours is the first botanical 
collection to be made there. 
I will see that van Steenis gets duplicates of 
your proposed new species as soon as possible. 
Holttum determines your ferns as follows 
28862 Gleichenia circinnata, Sw. 
28898 Gheiropleuria bicuspis (Bl.) Pr. 
28905 Lecanopteria Nieuwenhuisii, Chr. 
Yours sincerely,
