GALAPAGOS ARCHIPELAGO : Indefatigable Island, Dr. Habel, 1868. 
Most of the species of peed described by Sir Joseph Hooker 
(Trans. Linn. Soc. xx. 2 13) were founded on single speci- 
mens, or single sheets of specimens, which belonged to the late Pro- 
fessor Henslow, and are now in the University Herbarium at Cambridge. 
Through the kindness of Professor Nacghali Ward the specimens were 
lent to Kew for purposes of comparison with other material, and 
advantage has been taken of the sai to figure four of them in 
succeeding plates.— W. Borrina HemsLey
