To the 67 unequivocal species of this list 3 other apparently local 
Fungi should perhaps be added; it is, however, extremely probable that 
when they are better known they will be found to exist elsewhere, in 
which case they might be added to the list of wind-distributed species; 
the proportion that results is therefore :— 
Migrant sp : Remanent sp : : 4 : 1. 
It will be noted that not a single species which seems unquestionably 
“remanent” extends beyond South-Eastern Asia, and that the species 
which are here treated as such are only 67 in number, constituting no 
more than 20 per cent., of the flora. Of these species only 21, or 32 per 
cent., occur in India or Ceylon or both, and of these only one {Sterculm 
villosa) has not hitherto been found elsewhere to the east of the Sea of 
Bengal. This “remanent” section of the flora may therefore be looked 
upon as distinctly non-Indian. The point to be ascertained further is 
whether this element indicates more strongly an Indo-Chinese or a 
Malayan influence. Thirteen of the species, indicated in the table by 
an (*) occur only in the Andamans or Nicobars, while seven more occur 
only in Tenasserim on the opposite shores of the Andaman Sea. But 
Tenasserim bears to the Malay Peninsula and Indo-China very much the
