  J. 
  C. 
  Bridwell 
  announced 
  the 
  recovery 
  of 
  Kytorhinus 
  karasini 
  Fischer 
  v. 
  

   Waldheim 
  (1808), 
  type 
  of 
  the 
  genus 
  Kytorhinus 
  Fischer, 
  which 
  has 
  not 
  been 
  

   recognized 
  since 
  its 
  description. 
  It 
  was 
  originally 
  described 
  from 
  the 
  seeds 
  

   of 
  Robinia 
  (now 
  Caragana) 
  jubata 
  from 
  the 
  Altai 
  Mts. 
  in 
  Central 
  Asia. 
  The 
  

   genus 
  Kytorhinus 
  has 
  been 
  represented 
  by 
  species 
  in 
  the 
  Mediterranean 
  

   region, 
  the 
  Caucasus, 
  Central 
  Asia, 
  and 
  a 
  species 
  was 
  described 
  by 
  Dr. 
  

   Sharp 
  as 
  the 
  type 
  of 
  his 
  genus 
  Pygobruchus. 
  The 
  material 
  in 
  question 
  

   was 
  found 
  by 
  the 
  inspectors 
  of 
  the 
  Federal 
  Horticultural 
  Board 
  in 
  seeds 
  of 
  

   a 
  species 
  of 
  Caragana 
  (possibly 
  jubata) 
  which 
  occurs 
  in 
  Szechuen 
  Province, 
  

   China, 
  from 
  which 
  the 
  material 
  was 
  sent 
  to 
  the 
  Foreign 
  Seed 
  and 
  Plant 
  

   Introduction 
  Office 
  of 
  the 
  Bureau 
  of 
  Plant 
  Industry, 
  and 
  there 
  are 
  in 
  the 
  

   U. 
  S. 
  National 
  Museum 
  a 
  new 
  species 
  of 
  the 
  genus 
  from 
  India 
  and 
  one 
  from 
  

   China 
  received 
  in 
  this 
  manner. 
  A 
  Canadian 
  species 
  of 
  the 
  genus 
  has 
  been 
  

   recently 
  discovered 
  in 
  material 
  collected 
  by 
  Mr. 
  F. 
  C. 
  Carr 
  at 
  Edmonton, 
  

   Alberta. 
  This 
  is 
  the 
  first 
  authentic 
  instance 
  of 
  a 
  mylabrid 
  genus 
  (in 
  the 
  

   narrower 
  sense) 
  common 
  to 
  the 
  old 
  and 
  new 
  worlds. 
  Descriptions 
  of 
  the 
  

   new 
  species 
  have 
  been 
  prepared 
  for 
  publication. 
  

  

  Dr. 
  ScHWARZ 
  said 
  that 
  species 
  collected 
  in 
  South 
  America 
  many 
  years 
  ago 
  

   by 
  Darwin 
  are 
  now 
  only 
  partly 
  named. 
  Dr. 
  Schwarz 
  also 
  stated 
  that 
  the 
  

   first 
  scientific 
  expedition 
  in 
  South 
  America 
  was 
  made 
  by 
  the 
  French 
  engineer 
  

   CONDERMAINE 
  about 
  1770. 
  His 
  main 
  object 
  was 
  to 
  measure 
  the 
  equator. 
  

   He 
  went 
  from 
  Ecuador 
  to 
  the 
  Rio 
  Napo 
  River. 
  The 
  second 
  scientific 
  expedi- 
  

   tion 
  was 
  by 
  Humboldt 
  and 
  Bonpland. 
  They 
  went 
  down 
  the 
  Orinoco 
  to 
  

   Ecuador 
  mainly 
  to 
  investigate 
  the 
  high 
  volcanoes.
