 in a ditch beside the railroad track just Avest of the SoiUheni 

 Pacific station at Eugene. 



4 Stipa I.ITTORAUS Philippi. On ballast, IJnnton. This

 Quiriquina, Chili. There is but one specimen in the National 

 Herbarium, in the handwriting of Philippi himself.

 African grass is well established on ballast at Linntoi?, but seems

 European grass. Collectors should be on the lookout for it 

 elsewhere.

 parts of the Willamette valley which I luu'e visited, but seems 

 to liave been confused with L psreiiiie L. with which it is in-
