In my paper in the Jamaica Bulletin, I followed Mr. C. B. 

 Clarke, in Urban, Symb. Ant. 2 : 44, in recording the continental 

 North American Cyperus tctragonus Ell. from Jamaica, and in re- 

 ferring C. anceps to it as a synonym, but abundant material now 

 convinces me that the species are distinct. This sedge is plentiful
