of cultivation passed on the road, especially under Syung to the south, where there is a large valley.  The chief cultivation appears to be Coix, Glycine, and some rice, but the produce seemed very small.  At the foot of Syung on the north side, large tufts of Juncus occur, and on the first ascent another species of Valeriana foliis radicalibus reniformi cordatus occurs.  Urena lobale was noticed as high as 5,300 feet.  Between Syung and Myrung, especially about Nungbree, Parnassia recurs, with another species of Epilobium, Xyris, Juncus, the Senecioneoe, etc.; a new Impatiens occurs towards Myrung.  Generally speaking, the plants are much the same as those about Moflong; but several new Compositae occur.

The road leaves Nungbree to the right, leaving the most interesting parts of the march behind.  Altogether not more than 20 additional plants occurred in a journey of 6 hours.  Many parts are wet and marshy, and there is an absence of all tree vegetation, until one reaches Syung.  This makes the first part of the way somewhat tedious.  At Syung an Elaeagnus occurs; Colquhounia as usual in hedges; Styrax occurs at foot of the hill the altitude of which is 5,000 feet.

An anemone is common on road sides, especially on this side of Syung; a new Potentilla occurs; and the only Boragineous plant hitherto seen by me on these hills, a Cynoglossum closely allied to C. canescens.  The altitude of Syung is 5,594 feet.  The temperature being 70 degrees, and water boiling at 202 degrees.  Myrung 6 P.M.  Thermometer 65 degrees.

October 11th.—­Myrung 7 A.M. temp. 63 degrees Fahr.; noon 67 degrees; 6 P.M. temp. 65 degrees; 9 temp.  P.M. 62.5 degrees.  Weather unsettled, showery, and very cloudy, a very fine view is had of Bootan and the Himalayas from this place, particularly about 7 A.M. when the atmosphere is clear, the Durrung peaks being most magnificent.  The vegetation of the hills about here is much the same as about Moflong.  The woods are fine, composed chiefly of oaks; a Magnolia, which is a very large tree, likewise occurs together with Gordonia, an occasional Pinus, Myrica integrifolia.  The most curious tree is one which with the true appearance of an Elaeagnus, seems to be a Loranthus, the first arborescent species yet found, although, as one or two other exceptions occur to parasitism, there is no reason why there should not be a terrestrial arborescent species, as well as a fruticose one.  The wood to the east of the bungalow, which clothes a deep and steep ravine, has a very rich flora; a dryish ridge on the other side of its torrent abounds with Orchideae, and presents an arborescent Gaultheria.  The ridge in question may be recognised by its large rocks which are covered with Epiphytes Mosses, etc.  In this wood Pothos flammea is very common, climbing up the trees as well as hanging in festoons.  The marshes which are frequented by a few snipe, present grasses, the usual Cyperaceae, Xyris, occurs but is not common; Panicum stagninum?  Eriocaulon spe. fluitans?  Burmannia Rungioidea floribus carneis magnis, Senecionides, Ammannia rotundifolia, Sphagnum, Carduacea floribus roseis, Limnophilae sp.  Mentha verticillata, and the others previously found in similar situations. Goldfussia so common about Churra, recurs here, but rarely.
