from Killarney," in
the _Journal of Botany_, vol. 25, (Feb. 1887), pp. 33-82, in which many
curious facts are given as to the habits and distribution of these curious
and beautiful little plants.

[139] While these pages are passing through the press I am informed by my
friend Mr. W. H. Beeby that in the Shetland Isles, where he has been
collecting for five summers, he has found several plants new to the British
flora, and a few altogether undescribed. Among these latter is a very
distinct species of Hieracium (_H. Zetlandicum_), which is quite unknown in
Scandinavia, and is almost certainly peculiar to the British Islands. Here
we have another proof that entirely new species are still to be discovered
in the remoter portions of our country.

[140] In the first edition of this work the numbers were 400 and 340,
showing the great increase of our knowledge during the last ten years,
chiefly owing to the researches of Mr. A. H. Everett in Sarawak and Mr.
John Whitehead in North Borneo and the great mountain Kini Balu.

[141] These are Allocotops, Chlorocharis, Androphilus, and Ptilopyga, among
the Timeliidae; Tricophoropsis and Oreoctistes among the Brachypodidae;
Chlamydochoera among the Campophagidae.

[142] In a letter from Darwin he says:--"Hooker writes to me, 'Miguel has
been telling me that the flora of Sumatra and Borneo are identical, and
that of Java quite different.'"

Magazine_, 1877.

[144] _Pitta megarhynchus_ (Banca) allied to _P. brachyurus_ (Borneo,
Sumatra, Malacca); and _Pitta bangkanus_ (Banca) allied to _P. sordidus_
(Borneo and Sumatra).
