About 1,000 numbers were added to the Herbarium accession series and 
a considerable number of living plants were collected for cultivation. 
Mr. Henderson’s visit to Cameron’s Highlands was in conjunction with a 
survey of the timber trees of that area by the Forest Department. Unfor¬ 
tunately very wet weather prevailed during the expedition and the botanical 
results were disappointing. Mr. C. X. Furtado, Field Assistant, visited the 
Agricultural shows at Taiping and Kuala Lumpur, and reported on the 
Economic Plants exhibited. 
HERBARIUM. 
Mr. Henderson worked regularly in the Herbarium throughout the year. 
A considerable part of his time was taken up with re-arranging the whole of 
the collections in accordance with Mr. Ridley’s Flora of the Malay Penin¬ 
sula, the concluding volume of which was published during the year. The 
re-arrangement of the sheets is now complete, but much yet remains to be 
done in renewing and re-labelling the covers. 
Mr. Henderson also prepared a list of all plants known to occur in the 
neighbourhood of Kuala Lumpur, which is to be published in the Gardens’ 
Bulletin. For the purpose of obtaining additional information for this list 
Mr. Henderson visited Kuala Lumpur to consult the Herbaria at the Museum 
and at the Forest Office.

made during the year were identified and duplicates distributed as follows: —
