Several species described are presented in a 

 manner that might lead one to infer they were 

 published here for the first time. Among these 

 are : Paspalum inops Vasey, published in 1893 

 (Contr. U. S. Nat'l. Herb. 1. 65); Atropis uni- 

 aterale, published and figured in 1893 under Poa 

 (Vasey in Grasses of the Pacific Slope, t. 85); 

 Agrostis inflata Scribn., published in 1894 in the 

 Canadian Record of Science, where also was 

 published Poa trivialis var. filiculmis Scribn. 



Andropogon floridanus was published in a Bul- 

 letin of the Torrey Botanical Club, 23 : 145 

 (1896). It is unfortunate that unpublished 

 names should in any case have been cited as 

 synonyms, as the citation has no significance, 

 and the publication here prevents their possible 

 future use. Tlie grasses cited under Panicum 

 indicum are P. phleiforme Presl, a species very 

 closely allied, to and perhaps not distinct from, 

 P. indicum. Chamseraphis is taken up for Setaria, 

 and made to include Panicum sulcatum Aubl., 

 which belongs to the section Ptychophyllum of 

 Panicum, while Panicum palmeri and P. rever- 

 choni, the first a species of Ixophorus, the latter 

 a Setaria, are described under Panicum, and 

 classed in the section Ptychophyllum. Panicum 

 schiedeanum, described on page 119, is also an 

 Ixophorus, closely related to the species de- 

 scribed as Panicum palmeri. Chamseraphis lati- 

 glumis, described on page 152, is not a Setaria, 

 but belongs to a distinct genus, named Setari- 

 opsis (see Scribn. Pub. Field Col. Mus., Bot. 

 Ser., I.; 288 (1896)). 'Chamieraphis caudatavatT. 

 pauciflora Yasey ined.,' for which 191 E. Palmer 

 is cited, is a small form of S. Liebmanni Fourn. 

 The synonyms cited under Chamseraphis uniseta 

 are incorrect for No. 381 E. Palmer, the grass 

 referred to. Setaria uniseta Fourn. and TJro- 

 chloa uniseta Presl are Ixophorus unisetus 

 Schlecht. , the species described under Panicum 

 palmeri on page 120. ' Muhlenbergia lycuroides 

 Vasey ined.,' described on page 239, for which 

 489 E. Palmer is cited, is again described on 

 page 271, under the name Lyeurus phleoides 

 var. brevifolius (Scribn.). Pereilema Presl, de- 

 scribed on page 271, is cited as a synonym 

 under Agrostis on page 320. Sp07-obolus de- 

 pauperatus var. filiformis Beal, on page 296, 

 characterized as having ' the culm 10 to 

 12 cm. long, exserted for more than half 

 its length ; panicle much reduced, 2 cm. long,' 

 is Sporobolus gracillimus (Thurb.). Sporobolus 

 ovatus Beal, for which Sporobolus minor Vasey 

 is sited as a synonym, simply adds another 

 synonym to Sporobolus vaginxflorus (Torr.). 

 Calamagrosiis vaseyi Beal, page 344, is certainly 

 Calamagrosiis purpurascens R. Br., a species 

 quite distinct from C. sylvatica of Europe. 

 Calamagrosiis sylvatica var. americana Vasey, 

 described on p. 347, is the same. Spartina
