244 MR. H. W. PUGSLEY : A REVISION OF THE 
lapping that of the section Callianthos. Species of Tripteryx ave found in the 
district of Jebel Amour, in the south-east of the province of Oran ; also near 
the Saharan border of the province of Algiers, as at Laghouat ; and more 
extensively and generally in the province of Constantine, whence they extend 
across the Tunisian frontier in the neighbourhood of Kef, 
Of the two species of the section Sarcocapnoides, of which little is yet 
known, one was collected near Batna, in the central part of the province of 
Constantine near the Aures Mountains, and the other at Bou-Taleb, a locality 
in the Algerian montane region that has not been accurately located by the 
writer. 
Three of the annual species (Muricariv) occur near Biskra, in the south of 
the province of Constantine, and they apparently grow there in company. 
Plants of this group have also been reported from Beni-Souik, near the Aures 
Mountains, and from Elkantara, both localities slightly to the northward. 
R. muricaria grows in the Saharan region south of the province of Algiers, 
as at Metlili and Ghardaia; and X. delicatula apparently to the west of this 
region, in the country south-east of the province of Oran. 
METHOD or THE REVISION. 
It has already been stated that the following account of the Fumitories, 
which includes all the known species with their well-marked varieties, and 
has been extended to embrace the plants referred to the separate genus 
Rupicapnos, is primarily intended for use as a supplement to the Latin 
edition of Olof Hammar's Monograph. A complete synonymy is therefore 
not printed, and it is to be understood that Hammar’s synonyms are accepted 
unless, as happens in a few instances, they are definitely corrected. 
A reference is given to the original description of each species and variety, 
and if it exists, to an adequate Latin diagnosis. If this is not to be found, a 
fresh diagnosis in that language, with italicised contrasting characters alter 
the pattern adopted in “ Fumaria in Britain,” is furnished. A number of 
Hammar’s diagnoses, which seem satisfactory except perhaps in minor 
details, have been accepted, subject sometimes to some supplementary notes ; 
but where the Monographer's descriptions are not considered satisfactory or 
where the constitution of his species has been altered, fresh Latin diagnoses 
have been written. The descriptions of the British species and varieties 
dealt with in “Fumaria in Britain” are cited, but, as a rule, have not been 
repeated. References are also given to other works (often to Haussknecht’s 
revision in * Flora’) which throw light on various species and their distribution. 
The known hybrid-forms are mentioned, but as these are usually barren, 
evanescent annuals that do not perpetuate themselves, no new names for their 
designation have been introduced. The terms “ey parte” and * pro parte” 
are applied to synonyms in the usual sense, į. e, when the synonym includes 
more than the recognized species and less than that species respectively.
