On page 482 the punctuation would lead one to lefer "1-4 



cm. long" to the spikes and not the pedicels to which it belongs. 

 The same error ia found under E. tenuis on the next page. On 

 page 484 E. sessilispscata should drop the "ta" D rigida, in the 

 line below, was published in lh85, not "1855" On the next page 



"E. Neo-Mexieana Vasey hied (?) " should be Coulter FL lexas 



542 1894. On page 48? E. curtipedieellata was published in 1S6$7 



iror"1 8&*" 



On page 4'Jl Eatonia hybrida Vasey is given as published m 

 Bot Gaz. V 165 1884. No such name was published there. 



On page 508 Melica bulbosa has tw r o references and was not 

 described in either place. On the same page under M. ar.stata the 

 ligule is given as "4-6 cm. long", pretty long for a ligule ! In the 

 line below "plumose" is evidently an error for something else. 



On page 539 Poa Sandbergii is given as a synonym of P. fili- 

 folia which it is not Below, on the same page, P. occidentals V 

 & S. is given as a synonym of P. trivialis var. occidentals Vasey 

 which it is not. On page 549 he gives P glumaris as the same as 

 P. Kingii Watson, but it is not. Later on he redescrihes it ;js Fen- 

 tuca confinis Vasey, when it is not a Festuca. (See below). 



On page 567 Glyceria nervata is given as published in J 831, 

 iustead of 1S30. 



On page 578, under Atropis Pringlei, he gives the leaves as 

 "7—10 mm.", instead of .7—1 mm. wide. On the next to the last 

 line on the next page "3-4 cm." should be mm. 



On page 636 in Agropyron dasystachyum the joints "of n 

 chilla" should be rachis. 



These corrections are not intended as criticisms. Errors in 

 citations in a monograph are propagated greatly by those without 

 access to the book?, and by that growing class, people too lazy to 

 verify their references. Nelson in his manual has copied some of 

 these errors. 



EFICAMPES. 



\ 



In working up this and allied genera the treatment accorded 

 by Vasey, Beal and Scribner seemed unsound, since about three 

 genera were confused. 



Epicampes was founded by Presl in Rel. Haenkeana 235 t. 29, 

 Beal gives this as a synonym of Crypsis stricta HKK.,but on 

 what authority he does not' state, while'his description is quite 

 different from Presl's figure and description. Presl d.»es not give his 

 species as having been previously described. His figure has the 

 panicle of the E. distichophylla of Vasey which is Muhlenbergia
