As there is at present consideralile discussion re«;ardin<i" the manner 

 of selectinji" the type species of a «>'emis. we have <;i\t'ii .some attention 

 to the suhject. Witl, the exception of the Linnaean li'enera, the results 

 are the same whether the tirst species is .sidectod as the ty])e or the 

 methotl of residues is used. In this connection the data e-iviMi below 

 are of interest. Of the 2»'» Ivinnaean ofiiera. :{ do not at present con- 

 tain the tirst species oriiiinally cited by Linnaeus, viz, Aj//'imi, C'aitcalii^, 

 and L!giit<flciiiii.
