the same TerehintJiaceœ,^ dividing them into : Jnacardiaceœ, to which, 

 he joined the Holigarna of Roxburgh and Picramnia ; Sumachinaceœ 

 {Rhus, Mauria, Duvatca, and Schinns) ; Sponcliacece ; Burseracece unit- 

 ing the Garuga of Eoxburgh ; ~ Amyridcœ and Pteleaceœ, limited as 

 in the work of ICijnth ; Conmiraceœ, comprising, besides the thi-ee 

 genera enumerated by Kunth, Furgcoma, Bnmellia, Brucea,Tctradmm, 

 and Ailuntus. He ennmerated afterwards as doubtful or imperfectly 

 known types, the genera Didi/oloma, Triccros, Trattimekia, Htiertcu,^ 

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

 bglus, Siiriuna, Ltcnanea, Iletcrodendron, and Stijlohasitmi, that is to 

 say, pi'incipally Rutacece and Sapindaceœ ; \)\\t he definitely ex- 

 cluded the family of Juglandeœ, 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 Terehlnthineœ,'^ the secondary groups of Ivunth, 

 that is to say, the Juglandeœ ; the Anarcardiaceœ, to which are joined 

 Spondias and Sahia; Burseracece, with which is connected Amy ris as an 

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

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

 Bentham and Hooker'' and Marchand, in placing the Juglandeœ 

 among the apetalous series, maintained as perfectly distinct and 

 separate families the Burseracece, Sahiaceœ, and Anacardîaceœ, the 

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

 taining under the same title, the Amyrideœ, that is to say, the species 

 of Amyris, which are Rutaccœ, and Hempricliia Ehrenb., a true 

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

 1872,*' brought into a single family the Burseracccv and Anacardiacece ; 

 we can only accentuate more strongly theii' opinion, in making 

 the Burseracece a series of Terébinthaceœ, interposed to Spondia 

 and Anacardimn. On the other side, we have shown'' how the 

 species of Mappia until now united to the Olacineœ, of which they 

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

 their alternipctalous stamens, the composition of their gynteceum and 

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

 they approach the complete organisation of the Anacardiœ ; and it
