A number of specimens for identification were received from Mr. G. 
H. Spare, collected m the neighbourhood of Sungei Krian in Perak; 
Mr. Spare also presented some interesting recent collections of mosses made 
by him in various parts of Malaya, and identified by Mr. H. N. Dixon. 
During the month of February, Professor M. Burret of Berlin spent 
a few days in Singapore for the purpose of studying palms. Later, 
Captain H. Johnstone also spent a month in Singapore and photographed

assistance to us during several years in clearing up the identity of numerous 
cultivated palms.
