_ A small Mexican oak, closely allied to the preceding, but diflfering from it in a larger, 

 more coarsely and prominently reticulate leaf, and acorns spicate at the ends of long, 

 slender peduncles. It is of rather frequent occurrence among the mountains of the south- 

 ern part of Arizona. Dr. Kellogg had his specimen from that region, through the kind- 

 ness of Mr. Lemmon.
