Though nominally dealing with the species of a single 

 West Indian Island this article contains descriptions of species 

 from the southern United States and both slopes of Mexico 

 and of genera from South America. Four genera of Sabala- 

 ceae are recognized, Inodes, Thrinax, Thrincoma and Thringls, 

 of which the first is erected for the reception of the tree pal- 

 mettos and the last two are differentiated from Thrinax. 



Four genera of Arecaceae are recognized, Aeria, Areca, 

 Roystonea and Acrista, of which the first and last are 

 described as new, while Roystonea replaces Oreodoxa of most 

 writers. The Cocaceae are represented by Bactrls, Curima and 

 Acrocomia, of the subfamily Bactrldinae^ and Cocos and Cocops 

 of the subfamily Cocinae. — Curima and Cocops being 

 described as new. 



The following new names or new species occur in the 

 article:
