ENGLISH SOURCES: Under this heading I have 

 referred to a pamphlet on Dried Fruits, by an 

 unknown English author, privately printed 

 and circulated. The part pertaining to raisins 

 is very detailed and contains much informa- 

 tion of which I have made free use in this 

 book. It was kindly placed at my disposal 

 by Mr. Thomas Nelmes, of Pasadena. The 

 book being without title and the author un- 

 known, I cannot refer to it in any other way. 

 The pamphlet appears to have been printed 

 in 1876.

MAS ET PULLAT: Le Vignoble. Paris, 1876-77. 

 On page 73, tome i, we find a figure of a Mus- 

 cat of Alexandria with round berries, and 

 which undoubtedly is nearly related to the 

 Gordo Blanco. It is not the true Muscat of 

 Alexandria. As synonyms are given Gordo 

 Blanco and (Don Simon Roxas is referred to 

 as authority) also Uva Zibeba. The latter is 

 undoubted the same as our Muscat of Alex- 

 andria. Another synonym is Muscatel Ro- 

 mano, which again is only another name for 

 Gordo Blanco. The French authors have un- 

 doubtedly everywhere confounded the two 

 varieties. In the same work, page 31, tome i, 

 we also find the White Corinth referred to as 

 the currant grape of Zante, which is erro- 

 neous.
