   and 
  contains 
  50 
  most 
  excellent 
  plates. 
  The 
  drawings 
  have 
  been 
  chiefly 
  

   done 
  by 
  Mr. 
  W. 
  K. 
  Scholl, 
  who 
  is 
  surely 
  to 
  be 
  highly 
  commended 
  for 
  his 
  

   work, 
  and 
  m 
  the 
  descriptions 
  the 
  author 
  has 
  been 
  aided 
  byMr.F.V. 
  

   Coville. 
  A 
  second 
  part, 
  containing 
  an 
  equal 
  number 
  of 
  plates, 
  is 
  now 
  in 
  

   preparation. 
  This 
  is 
  undoubtedly 
  the 
  most 
  important 
  work 
  on 
  Amer- 
  

   ican 
  grasses 
  that 
  has 
  been 
  undertaken, 
  and 
  it 
  is 
  to 
  be 
  hoped 
  that 
  not 
  only 
  

   the 
  grasses 
  of 
  the 
  desert 
  region 
  will 
  be 
  .so 
  treated,
