SOME CHINESE CORYLACEZ. 
‘By Henry F. Hancz, Ph.D., F.L.S., &e. 
In a lecture delivered before the Royal Geographical Society i in 
1878, Mr. Thiselton Dyer remarked, “I know of no field for 
botanical exploration where amateurs could at the present time 
tel with less trouble and with more probability of rendering 
3,” ; : 
within a short period of no less than nine members of the fine 
family of Corylacea, diagnoses of which the writer has the pleasure 
to append, affords an astonishing proof of the extreme richness of 
the South Chinese Flora. In drawing up the characters the author 
has followed as closely as possible the method adopted in his 
‘Analecta Dryographica,’* published ce Le ago, always taking 
account of the angle of divergence of the es. Out of respect 
to the judgment of Mr. Bentham the sci Castanopi has been 
retained, though very much @ contre-cwur, the writer being still of 
Opinion that both it and Castanea should be united with Chere
