PUBLICATIONS' 
Two parts of volumes IX of the Gardens’ Bulletin were published 
during the year. Part 2, published on May 4th, contained three papers on 
ferns by the Director, two on palms by Mr. Fl t rtado, one on Euphorbia 
Ridleyi by Mr. L. Croizat of New York and one on the use of the terms 
“Malaya” and “Malaysia” by Mr. C. G. G. J. van Steenis of Buitenzorg. 
Part 3, published on October 9th, contained one large and two shorter 
papers on botanical taxonomy by Mr. Furtado. Part 4 was sent to the 
press at the end of the year. 
The Director continued to edit the horticultural section of the 
M. A. H. A. Magazine, articles to which were contributed b} r the Director, 
Mr. Flippance and Mr. Nauen. 
The Director and Mr, Furtado contributed short papers to a special 
issue of Blumea (Leiden) in celebration of the 70th birthday of Dr. J. J. 
Smith, the famous orchidologist. Mr. Furtado also contributed two short 
papers on taxonomy to the Chronica Botanica (Leiden). 
Mr. Furtado’ s papers on taxonomy embody a set of criticisms, discus¬ 
sions and proposals for amendment of the International Rules of Botanical 
Nomenclature. Much difficulty has been encountered in recent years 
through the endeavour to determine the correct botanical names of Malayan 
plants by strict application of the International Rules. Mr. Furtado’s 
work is valuable because it approaches the Rules from a critical study of 
tropical plants, the Rules having been framed mainly from the similar but 
by no means coincident problems of temperate botany.
