Jahrb. xiii. 106-229, t. v). 



A monograph of the poly gonaceous genus Cocoloha^ including 

 a discussion of Its morphology. 125 species are recognised, of 

 which a large number are described as new. C. Floridana Meisn. 

 of the Florida Keys is referred to C, laiirifolia, Jacq., a widely 

 distributed species of the West Indies. A single species only is 

 attributed to Bolivia, but Dr. Rusby brought home three from 

 there and Mr. Bang has since collected another.

Palms of the California Border — The. S. B. Parish. (Garden

The author contends that the identity of the Washingtonias 

 near the southern boundary of California is very uncertain and 

 the supposed W. filifera of San Bernardino Co. may be W. 

 robusta^ and if so it would be the proper name for the only true 

 palm known from the State of California.

The author criticises a recent paper upon this subject by Johann 



Janko in Vol. xi. of Engler's Botanische Jahrbiicher and revises 



the geological distribution of recognized fossil species of the genus 



Platanus, There Is considerable diverstiy of opinion between the 



two authors and there is evidently room for further criticism.
