Abstract
THE following extracts from a letter written from Java A by Mr. Henry O. Forbes to Mr. H. N. Moseley, F.R.S., have been sent to us for publication as of considerable interest. The letter is dated March 19. Mr. Forbes, who has been engaged in collecting in Java, expects shortly to leave for Celebes, Timor, Timor-laut, and other eastern islands. Timor-laut is the most important island of the Malay Archipelago yet remaining to be explored, and is likely to yield many natural history treasures. Mr. Forbes's letter refers to certain passages in Mr. Moseley's “Notes by a Naturalist on the Challenger.” The question of the mode of growth of Myrmecodia and Hydrophytum has been lately before the Linnean Society.
