part I, 17-38). 



In a discussion regarding the common names the author says: 



I have never yet heard the words Whortleberry and Bilberry 

 used by uneducated country people, and yet these words are given 

 prominence in American cyclopedias and by American authors. 

 The popular method, in New England at least, seems to be to 

 apply the name of Huckleberries to those kinds in which the" 

 seeds are prominent in the chewing, and Blueberries to those of 

 other kinds in which the seeds are not noticeable, regardless of 

 the real color/' The twenty-one edible species are treated in the 

 author's usual exhaustive manner regarding synonomy, bibliogra- 

 phy, common names, etc., both for America and the Old World. ■
