Lepidium virginicum L. Common in Bermuda. Mr. Schultz 

 could not have consulted the Kew herbarium for Bermuda 

 specimens. 



CoRONOPUS DiDYMUS (L.) J. E. Smith. This he cites from 

 Bermuda, collected by Rein, but not from the Bahamas, where it 

 occurs on the island of New Providence {Earle j:^; Briiton & 

 Brace jgo) ; it has also been found at Cinchona, Jamaica {Harris 

 ^579) 'i Schultz cites it from Jamaica on the old authority of 

 MacFadyen. 



Sisymbrium officinale (L.) Scop. This he also cites from 

 Jamaica on the authority of MacFadyen, but from nowhere else 

 in the West Indies. It is a common weed in Bermuda, duly 

 recorded by Hemsley, whose authority is quite as good as Mac- 

 Fadyen's, and by others. He proposes a variety leiocarpwn from 

 Haiti, characterized only by glabrous siliques ; the Bermuda, 

 plant as represented by Brotvn & Britton j^j has these also, and 

 if he had looked through a good series of specimens from eastern 

 North America he would have found glabrous siliques on a large 

 percentage of them. 



The following naturalized species of Bermuda, observed and 

 collected by Mr. Stewardson Brown and myself last September, 

 are not recorded at all from the West Indies by Mr. Schultz ; all 

 were previously reported by Hemsley. 



Matthiola incana (L.) R. Br. On seaside cliffs, Port Royal 

 and elsewhere {Brozvn & Britton j^g). 



Brassica nigra (L.) Koch. Cultivated land, very common in 

 Bermuda {Brown & Britton jyi). 



KoNiGA MARiTiMA (L.) R. Br. Roadside near Warwick Camp 

 [Browji & Britton JJj)- 



Mr. Hemsley also records the following from Bermuda ; they 

 were not seen there during our visit in September, 1905, but may 

 very well be in evidence earlier in the year : 



Lepidium ruderale L. 



Raphanus Raphanistrum L. 



It is to be hoped that the next time Mr. Schultz takes up a 

 West Indian family for study, he will give us results which will 

 be more complete and satisfactory than those of this excursion
