vote declared its approval, barring certain significant amendments, of the first three of the 
now noted Articles of Berlin, but declined to give any official expression of opinion as to 
the fourth, and virtually left all questions open by referring to this Standing Committee 
the propositions already made, and all others which might arise274b), The members of 
the committee are advised to confer one with another and report to some future World's 
Congress, ,the decisions of which shall have the force of law." 
f. 1781 are different: Manisurus L. 1771 must be restored for Roflboellia 
L. f. 1781 p. p. auct. and the species, which Mr. Hitchcock enumerates as 
Manisuris (L. f. 1481) granularis Pw. is to benamed: Hackelochloa gra- 
nularis OK. This list shows either a considerable lack of priority and justice 
on the part of Prof. Albert Hitchcock, or lack of books; but the want of books 
would prove that such nomenclatory revisions must be performed in the capi- 
tals with rieh libraries and that such obstinacy of provincials is scientifically 
not justified. 
He renewed correctly: Flemmingia Ait. ,Roxb.* 18129 hort. IV 350 
& citation everywhere overlooked till now, so that Moghania St. Hil. 1813 
must be rejected. Aiton gave no references of page and plate in Roxb. pl. 
corom. III and had therefore quoted only out of the manuscript of Roxburgh. 
Prof. Hiteheock shows that Vahl did not establish a new genus Langeria, 
but put thereto 2 species, one of which belongs to a new genus and not to 
Langeria Jacq. 1760 —— Guettarda L. 1758. Hence Langeria err. Vahl 
must get another name; the synonyms are: Viviania Raf. 1814, but the older 
Viviamia Cav. 1804 is a valid genus; then S/enostomum Griseb. cx parte 
minima non Gaertn.; and at last Terebraria Sessé mscr. in Endl. gen. pl. 
(1837) p. 841 in syn. to Langeria Vahl Ecl. t. 10. That name must be taken 
up and the 2 species are to be named Terebraria densiflora OK. (Wright) 
and T. resinosa OK. (Vahl). 
Prof. Hitcheock beginning with 1753 correctly accepts the genera 
names of Patr. Browne 1756: Achimenes, Amellus (non L. 1759), Amerimnon, 
Amyris, Argythamnia, Bernardia, Blechum, Brya, Duceras, Canella, Ce- 
drela, Chiococca, Cladiwm, Coilotapalus, Crossopetalum, Cuphea (— Par- 
sonsia and Melanium), Echites, Ervithalis, Erythroxylum, Galactia, Giga- 
lobium, Ichthyomethia (which 3 botanists had renewed 1891, but at first 
Hiteheock), Iresine, Lygistum, Melicoceus, Monniera, Myrstiphyllum. (incl. Psy- 
chotrophum P. Br. — Psychotria L. 1159); Sciodaphyllum, Struchium, Te- 
ramnus, Thammia (but perhaps to be altered for JTammus — incorrectly 
Tomus), Trichilia (incl. Barbilus), Triris, Windmannia, Zeugnites. 
Why did he not renew: Stizolobium P. Br. 1956 (incl. Zoophthalmwunm) 
for Mucuna Ad. 1768; Zygia P. Br. for Pifhecolobium Mart. 1899 event. 
inc. Inga W. 1807; Stemodiaera P. Br. 1756 for Sfemodia- L. 1759 (who 
changed only the name); Mesosphaerum P. Br. 1756 for Huyptis 1186 (the 
objections of Mr. Briquet are quite wrong; see note 16); Coccolobis P. Br. 
1756 for Coccoloba L. 1759 (who altered only the name) Prof. Hitchcock 
did not collect. and work the Fungi of Jamaica, otherwise he would have 
found, that P. Browne established a new name Cyathia for Cyathodes Mich. 
— Haller 1742; the species which P. Br. describes ,,corpusculis nigricantibus* is 
Cyathus. vernicosus DC. or very near. Now Cyathus Hall 1768 must be 
altered into Cyathia P. Br. 1755 (if beginning with 1753, the proposed starting- 
point) and the fern-genus Cyathea Sm. 1791 (which name is adopted by Mr. 
Hiteheock) must be altered into Sphaeropteris Bernh. 1800. 
In connection herewith I shall give an enumeration of the other genera 
(not collected by Prof. Hiteheock) which are accepted by other authors from
