 This volume is the result of a study of Lobelioideae in Ha- 

 waii and in the museums of Europe and America. Of the 

 seven genera discussed, six of them : Trematolobelia. Brighamia, 

 Cyanea. Clermantia, Delissea and Rollandia are peculiar to Ha- 

 waii ; the seventh Lobelia, has world-wide distribution. These 

 genera include 104 species which occur only in the Hawaiian 

 Islands. The publication of this volume is timely, for some of 

 the old and most interesting species of Lobelioideae have become 

 extinct and others are disappearing.

 pleted by the addition of indexes and tables of contents. A 

 revised list of the Museum publications also has been issued.
