" ajms" and " Gigantocliloa apiis" in lierl). Kurz., which is, I think, distinct from the 

 preceding, as the leaves are uneven at the base, and are mucli more hirsute below ; the 

 membrane below the petiole is also conspicuously fringed. 1 think it is very probaljle 

 that Blume's 13. apns will prove to be the same as Oxytenanthera nigro-ciliata, Munro.

Two or three species of Bamboos have the curious horn-like appendages to the vaginae 

 described above ; but in this s^iecies they are larger than in any of the others. The 

 same native name ("Embon") is applied in herb. Horsfield to Ilelocanna ZolUngeri, to 

 which, however, the above-described leaves certainly do not belong.

Bitchie states that this was found in a rivulet below the fall on the Kala Nuddi, and 

 that baskets are made of it.
