And please note: you can now obtain a listing by language at the above link. Mirrors (copies) of the complete collection are available around the world, and you can select one nearer to your location from the link on the search results page. To see a listing of mirror sites, and locate the one nearest to you, visit: http://gutenberg.org/MIRRORS.ALL If you prefer to download eBooks via other methods than from the search page, and need additional information, please refer to the file GUTINDEX.ALL, available for viewing or downloading at: http://www.gutenberg.org/GUTINDEX.ALL That file contains descriptions and explanations about the filenaming process, directory structure, file formats, and more. And to directly access the file directories: http://gutenberg.org/dirs/ Please note that the Project Gutenberg Production Team continues the process of manually re-posting those eBooks originally posted prior to Nov 2003 to the new filenaming and directory system (based on the eBook number). This process includes some file maintenance (repairing, correcting and re-formatting to current PG standards where practicable). These re-postings are noted in the "corrections" listings below.

McClelland from some of Griffith's diaries after his early death and published originally by the East India Company, is an account of his plant-identifying and collecting trips through regions and countries to the North-West and the North-east of the Indian sub-continent. It is not a travel book in the usual sense -- although there is some mention of various difficulties and 'adventures' encountered during the journeys (on his trek in Afghanistan he was a scientific adviser in the Army of the Indus during the First Afghan War, and witnessed the capture of the city and fort of Ghuzni, and on another occasion, as member of a small party, was lucky to survive an attack by bandits), it is principally a record, sometimes in great detail, of the botanical species that he found along the way, trees, shrubs, flowers, grasses and mosses, and the conditions, heights, temperatures, etc. where they were found growing, -- also, to a lesser degree and in less detail, reference is made to the birds, animals and fish of the areas traversed. ============================================================================= -- Goodbye, now, goodbye. Write down all I said And tell Tom, Dick and Harry I rose from the dead. What's bred in the bone cannot fail me to fly And Olivet's breezy... Goodbye, now, goodbye. ~ ~ ~ 'That's all,' said Humpty Dumpty. 'Good-bye.' =============================================================================
