301. (4) CASCARILLA PROVINCIANA. 



Note. This specimen is in quills. It is attributed by Poeppig to a 

 variety of C. glandulifera. It has a very bitter taste, and is very pale 

 internally, much more so than that of C. Pe"ruviana, which in other re- 

 spects it much resembles. 



302. The following Barks were collected under the superintendence of 

 M. PELLETIER, discoverer of Quinine. 



(1) QuiNQDINA NOVA. 



Note. This bark is labelled in Dr. Pereira's handwriting, " C. oblongi- 

 folia of Mutis, not of Lambert." It is therefore the kind described in 

 Hist, des Drag., t. iii., p. 182. 



(2) QUINQUINA D'ARICA. 



Note. This bark is labelled " C. pubescens or C. cordifolia ? " but it 

 does not exactly correspond to either. "It is probably a form of C. 

 pubescens, Vahl." (J. E. H.) 



(3) QUINQUINA DE LOXA. 



Note. This specimen consists of slender quills of the bark of C. offi- 

 cinalis, L. 



303. Collection of Cinchona Barks made under the superintendence 

 of GUIBOURT, author of the Histoire abregee des Drogues 

 simples. It includes nearly all the barks described by him. 

 The numbers attached to each kind are those under which 

 they are described in the above work. The initials J. P. 

 indicate that the number to which they . are attached is the 

 number of the specimen in Dr. PEREIRA'S catalogue. 



(1) QUINQUINA GRIS BRUN DE LOXA. Two specimens, No. 327. 



a. Quills. 28 J. P. 



b. Quills. 29 J. P. 



Note. These specimens consist of the bark of C. officinalis. Speci- 

 men b is the one alluded to as Colorada del Key, No. 29, Ph. Soc., in 

 P. J. [1] , vol. xi., p. 497. 



(2) QUINQUINA GRIS BRUN DE LOXA. Fibrous variety, No. 330. 



Note. This bark corresponds in appearance and taste to Howard's 

 specimens of C. micrantha. 



(3) QUINQUINA FIN DE LIMA. No. 330. 



Note. This bark is in quills, and is similar to Howard's specimens of 

 C. Peruviana. 



(4) QUINQUINA GROS DE LIMA. No. 331. 



Note. This bark has the external appearance of C. officinalis, but is 

 larger and thicker than any specimen of that species in this museum. 



(5) QUINQUINA BLANC. No. 331. 



Note. This bark is similar to the bark of C. Peruviana in Howard's 

 collectibn, but is in rather coarser quills. 



(6) QUINQUINA GRIS, IMITANT LE JAUNE ROYAL. 



Note. This specimen also seems referable to C. Peruviana, How.
