The only Cryptogam that belongs to this class is the incompletely 
known Fungus the mycelium of which has proved so destructive to the 
tea-crop at Port Blair. From what has been said in the account of this 
.species it will be seen that the species, whatever it may be, is certainly 
indigenous in, or at any rate has not been introduced by human agency 
into, the Andaman group. 
We have now to consider the “ sylvestrian ”, or truly wild, 
“ migrant ” species. These may be conveniently subdivided into 
“coast” and “inland” species—the former a group the members of 
which may, and here in most instances probably do, owe their presence
