Mr. Fitzgerald says nothing of the yellowness of the bark of E. lirata, which is 

 obvious in E. similis ; one is an eastern and the other a western species, but these points 

 nuist not be urged too strongly. 



Of the material available to me of E. lirata (a few leaves, fruits, and seeds) 

 together with Mr. Fitzgerald's description, I have spoken of the leaves, and my readers 

 may also consult the figures. The fruits are different in the types, but those of 

 E. similis (as shown in figure 4, Plate 184) approximate to the shape of those of 

 E. lirata (figure 5b), although the former are larger. The fruits of E. smh-j'^/s would appear 

 to be more numerous than those of E. lirata. Compare figures .3e and 56, but, us 

 regards the latter, the description says " 3 to 5." 



The seeds of E. lirata are wingless, like those of E. si'inilis, but those of the former 

 appear to be larger and rounder: At the same time I have not much of either 

 before me.
