referred to Tsuga. There is no specimen in the Léveillé herb- 
arium in Edinburgh. 
In conclusion I wish to thank Professor W. G. Craib at whose 
suggestion the study was undertaken and to whom I am indebted 
for helpful criticism throughout the work and in the preparation 
of the manuscript. Acknowledgment is also made to the officials 
of the herbarium of the Paris Museum for permission to examine 
type specimens and to Professor W. Wright Smith for the pre- 
paration of the plate. I should also like to express my indebted- 
ness to the late Professor Sir I. Bayley Balfour for the use of the 
Edinburgh herbarium material.
