Note on Some New Species of Grasses.— In the January number 
Of the Bulletin (1884), under the article New North American 
brasses, three species of Bouteloua are described, viz : B. Mfida, 
inurb., B. Burkii^ Scribn., and ^. Havardi, Vasey— which „c.^ 
Characterized and published by Mr. Serene Watson in his list of 
maimers plants in Vol. xviii. of the Proceedings of the American 
Academy of Arts and Sciences, issued August 15th, 1883. 
In justice to myself I wish to state that my article in the Bul- 
letin was written in April, 1883. and was placed in the hands of the 
editor May 2 2d following. 
Bouteloua pmilla, Vasey, ined., published by myself in the Janu- 
ary Bulletin, is certainly the same as No. 751 Bourgeau and No. 
1,010 hchaffner, referred by Mr. Watson in his list of Palmer's plants 
^0 B. prostraia, Lag. {B. /mmile, HBK.)
