The rest of the paper is occupied by notes and fuller descriptions 

 of previously published species. Among these, and of especial 

 interest to the Pacific Coast, are the notes on our native palms. 



Grasses and Forage Plants^and Catalogue of the Plants of Ne- 

 braska, By Charles E. Bessey and Herbert J. Webber. That 

 these papers bear the name of Prof, Bessey is evidence of their 

 value. The catalogue embraces 1900 numbers, about equally dis- 

 tributed between Cryptogams, with which the list begins, and Pha- 

 nerogams. Localities are given for the species, and much care is 

 shown in citino- authorities. The paper is a very welcome contri- 



bution to our knowledge of the distribution of American plants.
