In concluding our summary of Whitehead’s expedition, 
it may not be out of place to quote Dr. R. B. Sharpe’s 
concluding paragraph to his series of papers on the birds 
of Kinabalu. He writes : “ In conclusion, I once more 
offer my congratulations to Mr. John Whitehead on the 
success of an expedition planned and executed with so 
much determination in the face of so many obstacles and 
dangers; while his father, Mr. Jeffery Whitehead, who 
provided the ‘ sinews of war,’ must feel proud that his son 
has carried out one of the most important, as well as 
one of the most successful, scientific expeditions of modern 
times-—one, too, from which the gain resulting to our 
ornithological knowledge has not yet been thoroughly 
gauged.” (Ibis, 1890, p. 292.) 
Some ten years later Whitehead met his death in 
Formosa while on a similar expedition in the interests of 
his favourite branch of natural history.

The author of this paper discusses all the plants known 
from Kinabalu up to that date; the greater part of the 
material studied comes from the collection of Dr. G. D. 
Haviland, who, as Curator of the Sarawak Museum, made 
an expedition to Kinabalu early in 1892. 
* Dr. Boulenger, in Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist. 1891, ser. 6. vol. vii. p. 341, 
states that the first Reptiles and Batrachians from Kinabalu were described 
by him. He considers that some of Mocquard’s species are not valid, but 
he recognises altogether twelve new species collected by Whiteheads
