* Extract from a letter by the late Dr. Teters:— "Mr. 0. H. Bergius was a 

 young man who collected in 1816 and 1817 for our [Berlin] Museum, at the 

 Cape of Good Hope, and died there of consumption." The specific name is 

 therefore as above, and not bmji, as it is often written. 



t Tjpe in Berlin Museum examined.
