73. Macaranga Tanarius Muell.-Arg. Plentiful on the south 
side of the Island. This locality is a very distinct extension northwards 
for the distribution of this species which has been hitherto known only 
from South Andaman, ISlicobars, Perak and Malacca. Dr. King has very 
kindly verified this determination for me. 
URTICACE^. 
74. Artocarpus Chaplasha Roxb. Only once seen, near the Gar- 
cinia and Myristica, 
75. Antiaris toxicaria Lesch. Only once seen ; the tree is close 
beside the preceding and is said by the Burmans (turtle-collectors) to 
be the only one on the Island; it may have been planted, but it is 
difiicult to suppose by whom. 
76. Pious Rumphii Blume. Littoral; a very lai-ge tree, common¬ 
est on the south side, but plentiful all round the Island.

garden.

forms much of the interior jungle.

ing 14 trees in front of the telegraph-ofiice and a few others near the 
Burmans’ huts. 
AROIDEA3.

coast zone and the interior also.
