Postscript.—The distribution of the species has been worked 
out from the specimens as far as they afford information of locali- 
ties. It is to be regretted that the localities written on the labels 
of collectors’ specimens generally are so often unsatisfactory. Even

desirable to give the a Greek rather than the ancient Greek 
or Latin names, and to mention the eparchies and nomes in which 
these unmapped fathtots are situated. This especially wai to 
the region comprised in the Flora Orientalis, where so man 
localities have both Turkish and Greek names. The location e

BIBLIOGRAPHICAL NOTES. 
XVII.—Srevpe.'s ‘Synopsis PLantrarum GLUMACEARUM.’ 
Ir seems to be generally assumed that Steudel’s Synopsis ap- 
eared as a whole in 1855, the date on the title-page. Pritzel 
art 
(Gramineae) appeared before that date, presumably during 1854. 
I hav t together the following haya tion, which may interest 
workers and be wort putting on recor as 
published in fascicles, of which there were to be ele ven, according to 
a statement in the Botanische Zeitung for Jan. 27, 1854, p. 63, 
Société Botanique de France, i. (1854), p. 145, where fascicles 1-5 
are reviewed. = Paris publication Se states that fascicles 1-5 
contain fifty sheets. There are eight pages to a sheet, an 
fascicle 1 contained eighty pages, we may assume that each fascicle 
contained ten sheets. 
- Part i. (Gramineae), with 474 pages, pow issued : six gy 8, 
as appears from the review in Flora, xxxviii. (1855), p. 251, of 
teen 7-9, where it is stated that the sixth fascicle Qoiitained the 
of the true grasses. The reviewer also expresses tlie hope that 
pe li. will be complete before the end of the year, and on p. 604 of

erro to in the singular, and as it vienee= takes up the work 
previous notice left it, it seems there were ae
