prepared to commemorate the 80th birthday of 
Mr. F N. Ridley, Director of Gardens from 1888 to 1911. 
It contains a portrait and bibliography of Mr. Ridley’s 
publications (more than 500 items), and short papers by 
botanists from Malaya, the Netherlands Indies, Holland 
and the United States. The papers are all concerned with 
Malayan botany. 
In addition, the following papers were contributed by members 
of the Gardens staff to other periodicals:— 
Lightning Injuries to trees, by C. X. Furtado (Journ. Malayan 
Branch, R. Asiatic Society XIII, pp. 157-162). 
A disease of the Angsana tree, by C. X. Furtado (ibid, 
pp. 163-192).

Corner (New Phytologist 34, pp. 180-200). 
The Fungi of Wicken Fen, Cambridgeshire, by E. J. H. 
Corner (Trans. British Mycological Society 19, pp. 280- 
287). 
The Director continued to edit the horticultural section of the 
M. A. H. A. Magazine, and contributed articles to each issue; articles 
were also contributed by Mr. F. Flippance and Mr. E. J. H. Corner, 
the latter’s contribution being a very useful survey of the species of the 
genus Cassia growing in Malaya. 
The Director contributed several articles to the Malayan Orchid 
Review, Vol. 2, No. 2, including a description of the species and 
varieties of “Scorpion” Orchids (Arachnis), and of a new hybrid 
Phalaenopsis.
