about Rangoon; also that the settle¬ 
ment was attempted by a Rangoon 
gentleman whose servants were, at 
least partly, Burmese. But typical 
white Nymphsea Lotus occurs in Little 
Coco, clearly independently of human 
agency. 
Table Island (the older clearing) only. 
As a rule this species would, without 
hesitation, be dealt with as a weed ; in 
Great Coco, however, it does not occur 
iu the clearing and it was not found 
on Table Island at all. If introduced 
here, we may safely say that human 
agency is not responsible for its ap¬ 
pearance ; more probably it has been 
introduced by the agency of birds]. 
Great Coco ; in the old garden and evi¬ 
dently struggling against extinction. 
Table Island only ; but common in many 
parts of the clearing. 
Great Coco; a few trees evidently plant¬ 
ed ; these are very healthy, and seed¬ 
lings are already springing up under 
the adjacent Coco-nut trees. 
Table Island only ; but very abundant; 
the species may have been uninten¬ 
tionally introduced, but more probably 
has been brought by the servants at 
the light-house, who are Burmans and 
with whom the flower is a favourite. 
Table Island only ; common however on 
all the grassy slopes. 
Great Coco; not seen on Table Island, 
though it probably occurs there. 
Seedlings in cow-dung on one grassy 
slope at south-west corner of island. 
These were seen in 1890; no species 
was seen in 1889 likely to have given 
origin to these and there is no indi¬ 
genous species to which it seems likely 
they could belong. Unfortunately
