Boulger, Esq., Of the botanists who have done mo'st for the advancement of the Sinhalese Flora; two very instructive Maps, of the Rainfall and Of the Forest Areas of Ceylon, issued by the surveyor-general of the Colony, to whom I am greatly indebted for sanctioning this use of them.

As I propose to append to Part V. A complete Index to the whole work, I have con fined the Index to Parts III. And IV. To generic names.
