the same Tcrehinthacea',^ dividing them into: Anacardiacem, to which 

 he joiaed the Holigarna of Roxbiegh and Picramnia ; Sumachinacece 

 {Rhus, Mauria, Dui'mia, and Schinus) ; Spondiacccv ; Buncraccce unit- 

 ing the Garucju of Roxburgh ; ^ Amyridecc and Pteleacece, limited as 

 ill the work of Kunth ; Connaracea', comprising, besides the three 

 genera emimerated by Kunth, Enrycoma, Bnmellia, Brucen, Tetradium, 

 and Ailantus. He enumerated afterwards as doubtful or imperfectly 

 known types, the genera Dicti/oloma, Triceros, Trattinickia, Hiiertea^ 

 Asaphes, Rumphia, Philagonia, Tapiria, Cyrtocarpa, Thysanus, Bar- 

 byliis, Suricma; Lunanea, Heterodendron, and Sfylobasium, that is to 

 say, principally Ridacece and Sapindaccw ; but he definitely ex- 

 cluded the family of Juylandeie, which will perhaps be reunited 

 sooner or later after the example of Endlichee. Following closely 

 the inspiration of E. Brown, he considered as so many distinct 

 orders, in a class of TerebintMnece,^ the secondary groups of Kunth, 

 that is to say, the Juglandece ; the Anarcardiacecv, to which are joined 

 Spondias and Sahia; Burseraceai, with which is connected Amyris as an 

 an allied genus ; the Connaracece, then all the series we have enumerated 

 in the family of Rutacca. The successors of Endlicher, particularly 

 Bentham and Hooker^ and Marchand, in placing the Juglandece 

 among the apetalous series, maintained as perfectly distinct and 

 separate families the Burseracece, Sahiacecc, and Anacardiacece, the 

 latter comprising the Spondias as a simple tribe, and the former con- 

 taining under the same title, the Aniyr/dca', that is to say, the species 

 of Amyris, which are Rutacece, and Hemprichia Ehrenb., a true 

 Bursera of the genus Balsamea. Triana and Planchon have, in 

 1872," brought into a single family the Burseracea; and Anacardiacece ; 

 we can only accentuate more strongly their opinion, in making 

 the Burscrucccc a scries of Tcrchintliacca', interposed to Spondia 

 and Anacardium. On the other side, we have shown ^ how the 

 species of Mapjpia until now united to the Olacinece, of which they 

 have, moreover, certain characters, differ completely, however, by 

 their alternipetalous stamens, the composition of their gynasccum and 

 the manner of placeutation, at the same time by all these characters 

 they approach the complete organisation of the Anacardia; ; and it
