I have once more to express my gratitude to Professor Hackel 

 for his kindness in again identifying several of the grasses Poa 

 persica, Trin., Koeleria phleoides, Pers., and Phalaris intermedia, 

 Bosc. and to A. O. Hume, Esq., C.B., F.L.S., for much valuable 

 direct and indirect assistance in determining and verifying a number 

 of others. I have also to record my indebtedness to A. B. Jackson, 

 Esq., who was the first to find Apera intermedia, Hackel, in Britain 

 (Leicestershire) about two years ago, and who very kindly verified 

 my specimen of that plant by comparing it with his one.
