The analysis of these species thus shows that the figures do not 
indicate any special connection either with China, with India, or with 
Australia ; many of the species in these tables are cosmopolitan or nearly 
so, and thus possess no special phytogeographical interest. The number of 
species that extend from India, Ceylon or the Himalaya to the Andamans 
and no further, is only 23, or per cent, of the whole flora; this figure, 
therefore, more nearly represents what may be considered the peculiarly 
Indian element in the Flora of the Andamans. There are only three 
species that extend from South China to the Andamans and no further 
southwards, and as all three are found in India and may as readily be 
extensions from India to China as from China to India we may assert 
that there is no distinctive Chinese feature in the flora at all. Only 
9 species extend upwards from Australia as far as the Andamans, but not 
as far as Indo-China; but all these are characteristic Malayan species 
and may just as well be considered extensions from Malaya to Australia 
as from Australia through Malaya to the Coco Islands. The occurrence 
of as many as 10 of the species in Ceylon and not in India would seem at 
first to indicate that there is some foundation for a remark by Mr. 
Kurz, already alluded to in connection with the vegetation of Diamond 
Island (/. A. S. B. lix, pt. 2, p. 290), concerning the presence of a Ceylon
