386 GEOLOGICAL SURVEY OP CANADA. 



(2655.) C. castanea, Wabl. ; Gray, Mao., ed. VI., 603. 

 Eeferences under C.flexilis, Eudge, Part IV., 162, belong here. 



(2658.) C. capillariS, Linn.; Macoun, Cat. IV., 163. 



C capillaris var. Krausei, Macoun, Cat. IV., 163. 



C. Saskatchewana, Macoun, Cat., IV., 163. 



Prof. Bailey having examined the specimens upon which these 

 forms were founded, refers them both here. 



(2671.) C. lupulina, Muhl. (1805); Bailey, Mem. Torr. Bot. Club, 

 I, 11. 



Eeferences under C. lurida, Wahl., Part IV., 167, belong here. Prof. 

 Bailey shows that 0. lurida, properly belongs to 0. tentaculata. 



Var.- Bella-villa, Bailey, Mem. Torr. Bot. Club, I., 12. 



Eeferences under 0. lurida, var. divergens, Bailey, Part IV., 168, 

 belong here. 



Var. pedunculata, Dewey ; Bailey, Mem. Torr. Bot. Club, I., 12. 



Eeferences under 0. lurida, var. polystachya, Bailey, Part IV., 168, 

 belong here. 



(2673.) Since writing the article under this number, Part IV., 168, 

 we have received specimens of C. Raeana (named by Boott), from the 

 British Museum, and can make nothing of it except an immature 

 specimen of C. oligosperma. In the summer of 1888, J. M. Macoun 

 collected on Methy Portage many specimens of both C. oliogosperma 

 and C. monile. Prof. Bailey in Mem. Torr. Bot. Club, Vol. I., 39, 

 makes C. Raeana a variety of C. monile. It is very probable that 

 Boott had young specimens of C. oligosperma and C. monile before 

 him when he characterized the species he named C. Raeana. The 

 description of Prof. Bailey combines the spikes of C. monile and the 

 leaves of C. oligosperma, and the compound is Boott's C. Raeana. Prof. 

 Bailey writes me that "The type of C. Raeana, in Herb. Boott, is 

 clearly different from C. oligosperma" Whatever it is there is no 

 evidence that it is a good species, and may be, as I state above a com- 

 pound of C. monile and G. oligosperma. 



(2674.) C. miliaris, Michx. ; Bailey, Mem. Torr. Bot. Club, L, 35. 



C miliaris, Michx. . Macoun, Cat. IV., 199, in part. 

 C. Raeana, Boott ; Macoun, Cat. IV., 168, in part.
