{Kew, England,) 
Being engaged in the study of tlie large and perplexing genus Milletiia 
I requested a loan of the Philippine specimens in the Herbarium of the 
Bureau of Science in order to supplement the abundant material Iroin 
those Islands already preserved in the Kew Herbarium, Mr. Merrill's 
courteous compliance with my request now enables me to draw up the 
following key to the Philippine representatives of the group, and to add 
the descriptions of three additional species, the types of which are pre- 
served in the Herbarium of the Bureau of Science.
