  in 
  view 
  of 
  the 
  triangular 
  condition 
  of 
  the

   spot 
  above

  it 
  seems 
  possible 
  that 
  this

   formerly 
  well 
  developed.

   of 
  Burchell's

  of

   records 
  : 
  but 
  according 
  to 
  the 
  Cat. 
  pi. 
  Braz. 
  he 
  was 
  " 
  In 
  

   the 
  middle 
  part 
  (about 
  f) 
  of 
  the 
  Ascent 
  up 
  the 
  Serra 
  de 
  

   Cubatao 
  " 
  * 
  on 
  Dec. 
  16th, 
  and 
  he 
  is 
  not 
  reported 
  to 
  have 
  

   made 
  any 
  further 
  expedition 
  till 
  Dec. 
  22nd 
  ; 
  so 
  it 
  is 
  

   probable 
  that 
  he 
  spent 
  the 
  days 
  between 
  Dec. 
  16th 
  and 
  

   Dec. 
  22nd 
  at 
  Rio 
  das 
  Pedras, 
  and 
  may 
  have 
  been 
  

   engaged 
  upon 
  his 
  botanical 
  and 
  zoological 
  collections. 
  

   The 
  following 
  evidence 
  supports 
  the 
  conclusion 
  that 
  he 
  was 
  

   in 
  this 
  locality 
  on 
  one 
  of 
  these 
  days. 
  It 
  is 
  noted 
  in 
  the 
  Cat. 
  

   pi. 
  Braz. 
  that 
  " 
  3628-4" 
  (a 
  botanical 
  specimen) 
  was 
  collected 
  

   "19. 
  12.

  "\ 
  Now 
  3595-3628 
  are 
  the 
  botanical 
  entries 
  

   for 
  Dec. 
  15 
  at 
  Rio 
  das 
  Pedras, 
  and 
  the 
  fact 
  that 
  the 
  last 
  of 
  

   these 
  entries 
  was 
  repeated 
  (with 
  the 
  addition 
  of 
  " 
  — 
  4 
  ") 
  for 
  

   the 
  above-mentioned 
  specimen, 
  suggests 
  that 
  it 
  came 
  from 
  

   the 
  same 
  locality 
  as 
  3Q2S, 
  i. 
  e. 
  that 
  Burchell 
  was 
  at 
  Rio 
  das 
  

   Pedras 
  on 
  19. 
  12. 
  26. 
  If 
  this 
  conclusion 
  be 
  correct, 
  it 
  is 
  

   probable 
  that 
  17. 
  12. 
  26' 
  was 
  also 
  spent 
  in 
  the 
  same 
  locality.

  band 
  distinctly 
  shown,

  as 
  

   this 
  specimen 
  is 
  much 
  rubbed, 
  it 
  is 
  possible 
  for 
  the 
  reasons 
  

   given 
  under 
  1460 
  that 
  in 
  its 
  original 
  state 
  the 
  band 
  was 
  con- 
  

   tinuous 
  and 
  well 
  marked. 
  It 
  is 
  worth 
  noticing 
  that 
  the

   that 
  runs 
  between 
  the

  nervules 
  

   traverses

  projects 
  a

   segments

  It 
  is 
  slightly 
  thickened 
  

   at 
  the

  of

  but 
  gradually 
  tapers 
  at 
  its 
  distal 
  

   end,

  creating 
  the
