Transcription Notes:
No coll. no. that I can see, nor date but collectors are Hook. & Thomson. Both listed as the collectors on label so have put them both in. Please feel free to leave note if you disagree. - @siobhanleachman Steps to working out collection area - http://www.geonames.org/search.html?q=Khasia&country= Then I searched on Smithsonian Collections and found "Himalayan journals, or, Notes of a naturalist in Bengal, the Sikkim and Nepal Himalayas, the Khasia Mountains, &c. / by Joseph Dalton Hooker ; with maps and illustrations ; in two volumes" As I'm not sure this is the only time Hooker visited this area of India I've left the collection date blank. Obviously collected during his life time of 1817 - 1911 though! -@siobhanleachman
