Lichens described in this book have been mainly collected from (1) Darjeeling and its suburbs in the outer Sikkim Himalayas and (2) a part of the Sikkim territory up to Gangtok, the capital of the State, including the valleys of the great Ranjit, the Timmi, The Rangpu, and the Tiesta rivers. The route followed is shown in the accompanying text-figure. During train journey from Siliguri to Darjeeling specimens were collected wherever convenient. A few specimens collected from Calcutta (New Lake) and the Salt Marshes by the writer are also descried. Besides, some interesting species, not seen by the writer in the Sikkim Himalayas but collected by Dr. Chaudhri and Mr. A.C. Joshi from Kashmir and Dr. E. Blatter from Waziristan, are also included.
