This paper contains numerous records of new localities for 

 species and a number of sj^stematic and other notes. The new 

 species described are: Acacia fuUginea n. sp. is near A. exiophylla , 

 Benth. but differs in having twice as many Ars. in the head, larger 

 and differently shaped phyllodes, a globular inflorescence , much 

 longer and narrower pods; Callitris Morrisoni n. sp. is distinguished 

 by its exceedingly short internodes, "whilst in the terete, glaucous 

 branchlets it approaches more closel}?^ C. robusta R. Br. and C. gracilis 

 R. F. Baker, but differs from the first of these in the absence of 

 tubercles on the cones, which latter are also smaller than those of 

 C. gyaciliSj from which species it differs also in its erect glaucous 

 branchlets." A number of Fungi are also included in the list.

Potmnogeton Fryeri n. sp., the appearance of which is between 

 that of P. natans, L. and P. ampUfolius , Tuck. , differs from all 

 other species of the genus hy having a fruit with smooth wing and 

 a semi-annular embryo. P. Franchettii n. sp. is like large examples 

 of P. polygonifolius , but the leaves are lanceolate to lanceolate-ovate , 

 petioled, semi-coriaceous and without a Joint at the base, while the 

 large fruit has a slightly rounded ventral face and a lunate dorsal 

 face. F. E. Fritsch.

A posthumous paper referring only to the "species in the Kew 

 Herbarium and not quite all of these", but valuable as the work of 

 an expert and based "on plants examined, though the various spe- 

 cies may not invariably have been determined correctly." 



The following new forms are described: Mariscus MeyriUU, Cla-

Les deux especes qui constituaient le genre Zmionia (Z. indica 

 Linn. et Z. macrocarpa Bl.) sont si differentes entre elles que 

 l'auteur les avait d'abord rangees dans deux sections distinctes 

 {Etisanonia et Macrosanoniä). Depuis lors, il a fait de l'espece Za- 

 nonia macrocarpa Bl. un genre distinct, le genre Macro.zajionia, 

 dont il peut maintenant donner la diagnose gräce ä l'etude de ma-
