Abstract

On March 1st 1905 a trip to Krakatao was made by the Russian savant Golenkin, mainly for the purpose of collecting marine algae. Dr. Th. Valeton, the author of the systematic part of the „Bijdragen tot de kennis der Boomsoorten van Java1)” took — merely as a tourist — part in this trip which was never intended to be a botanical exploration of the island. On this occasion he collected some plants with the assistance of Arsin († 1913), a native functionary of the Buitenzorg Herbarium. Valeton has never published anything on the botanical results of his trip, but kindly sent me by letter some information about a list2), made by Arsin of the plants collected in 1905, to which list Dr. Valeton added another one recording the plants merely observed but not collected by him. The above mentioned list of Arsin was inserted by Docters van Leeuwen (sub No. 3) in his lists of plants found on the islands of the Krakatao group3).
