Mr. L. H. Bailey, jun., of Cambridge, U. S., writes that he is convinced that 

 C. peruvianus, including presumably the Mexican specimens, is specifically distinct 

 from C. externa. Bceckler reduces the South- African C. ecMonii, Kunze, to a variety 

 of this.

GRAMINEiE. 



[iii. p. 475.] Pogonopsis tenera, Presl, Keliq. Hsenk. i. p. 333, t. 46 ; Benth. et 

 Hook. Gen. Plant, iii. p. 1096 (inter genera dubia), recorded from Mexico, is repre- 

 sented in the British Museum by an authentic specimen, which Mr. H. N. Ridley has 

 examined and determined to be the common Asiatic Pogonatherum crinitum, Trin. It 

 was therefore probably from the Philippine Islands instead of Mexico.
