‘You will also be interested in what I have to tell you about 
Juliania. For more than six years I have been at work off an 
are, however, more than two species in Mexico. I have certainly 
four well-marked species and possibly six. . . . With regard to 
the position of this genus, I think it must be regarded as the type 
of a new order. do not think it has any relationship to either 
Burseracee or Anacardiac conclusions in the field were that 
it must be closely related to Juglandacee, a relationship which you 
gest.” 
In this communication Dr. Rose most generously offered to 
send all his specimens and notes to me, leaving it to my judgment 
i , and 
through the kindness of the Trustees of the Bentham Fund, Miss 
M. Smith made an elaborate series of drawings under my direction. 
As there were still some structural points on which we were no

was decided to publish at once a description of the genus as then 
understood, and brief diagnoses of the species.

So far as at present known, Juliania is confined to Mexico, and 
the various species occur in isolated localities between about 17° 40’ 
and 28° N. lat., an d 104° W. long., and at altitudes of 
about 1500 to 5500 ft. 
The habitat of the Peruvian Orthopterygium Huanucui is 2000 
miles distant from the nearest locality of any species of Juliania. 
The exact position of the only place in which it has been found 
cannot be given, but it is in the Province of Canta, in the Depart- 
ment of Lima, between 11° and 12° §. lat.
