ceae, 10 each; Urticaceae, Cyperaceae, and Orchideae, 9 each. But, it 

 should be added that these numbers include introduced species, which 

 in the Solanaceae amount to eight of the eleven. The endemic dement 

 is not large, but it is highly interesting on account of the presence of 

 Tahitian types. The apparently endemic species are: Xylosma gracile 

 Hemsl., Pittosporum rarotongense Hems!., Elaeocarpas rarotongensis 

 Hemsl., Weinmannia rarotongensis Hemsl., HomaUiun aciiminaium 

 Cheesem., Meryta parviflora Hemsl., Ixora bracteata Cheesem., Coprosnia 

 laevigata Cheesem., Fitchia speciosa Cheesem., Sclerotheca viridiflora 

 Cheesem., Myrsine Cheesemanil Hemsl., Alyxia elliptica Cheesem., Cyr- 

 tandra rarotongensis Cheesem , Habenaria amplifolia Cheesem., Garnotia 

 Cheesenianii E. Hackel, Chloris Cheesemanii E. Hackel and Nephrodiiini 

 leucorhachis Cheesem. The most remarkable and interesting of these 

 novelties are Fitchia speciosa and Sclerotheca viridiflora, members of 

 genera previously only known to exist in the Society Islands. The 

 former is a small tree very common and conspicuous at elevations of 

 500 feet and upwards. W. Botting Hemsley.

M. Gandoge r entreprend la pu'-'lication d'un nouveau Con- 

 spectus de la flore d'Europe qu'il espere mettre tout ä fait au courant 

 de la science; il y distinguera ce qu'il considere comme les types pri- 

 mordiaux; il enumerera ä leur suite les sous-especes, races ou formes 

 disposees par ordre d'affinite ou alphabetique, selon les cas. II ne citera 

 qua quelques uns des types principaux publies dans sa Flora Europae 

 terrarumque adjacentium dans les 27 vol. de laquelle il a decrit 

 plus de cent mille formes, races et lusus. Le premieres pages sont
