 with the " melilStos : » the " mglilSton » growing on the banks of the Nile, coronary and connected 

 with the history of Osiris - (Plut. is. and osir. 14 and 38), may therefore be compared : I . hamosa

 Palestine, and by Sibthorp on Cyprus. (See Lotus rectus). 



Ninety-second generation. Sept. 1st, 1234, mostly beyond youth : Assir, Elkanah, and Abiasaph, 

 sons of Korah (ex. vi. 24, num. xxvi. 11, and 1 Chron. vi. 22 and 37) : and among Greeks, Ench-

 Tcheou, after naming his youngest son for the succession. The two excluded brethren retired to 

 ''the Eastern extremity of Kiang-nan," and after cutting their hair and making marks on the skin, 

 were received as rulers by the barbarous population around the mouth of the Kiang. The eldest 

 brother, Tai-pe, is regarded by several Chinese historians as the ancestor of the " dairis " or emperors 

 of Japan.* 



Setaria vertiallata of Subtropical Asia. A small kind of millet called in Yemen " sa;ra erra 

 (Forsk., and Steud.), in Japan " hiye," and cultivated there from the introduction of agriculture by 

 Ukemochi-no-kami — (Jap. centen. comm. 104) : observed under cultivation there by Kaempfer, and 

 Thunberg. Westward, by Roxburgh, and Graham, in Hindustan, and the same or a closely allied 

 species by myself under cultivation on the Deccan ; by Forskal p. 20, at Hadie in Yemen, and termed 

 "p. adherens;" by Delile, around Cairo; by Sibthorp, frequent in cultivated ground on the Greek 

 islands; is termed " gr. geniculatum " by Tabernaemontanus iii. 1.532 (Spreng.), "p. vulgare spica 

 simplici et aspera" by Tournefort inst. 515 ; is known to occur as a weed throughout middle Europe, 

 and from at least the time of Ray in Britain (Roth germ. ii. 69, Lam. fl. fr., Pers., and A. Dec). 

 Probably by European colonists was carried to Northeast America, where it continues a weed "near 

 dwellings, rare northward" (A. Gray), occurs also "around dwellings, Norlh Carolina" (Chapm.). 



Phaseohts radialus of Subtropical Eastern Asia. Called in Japan " adzuki," and included per- 

 haps in "the various kinds of peas and beans " cultivated there from the introduction of agriculture

specimens is described by Linnasus. 



The same year = " 18th year of Ramessu IV. ; " the latest date in his reign found on the monu- 

 ments — (Birch). His name occurs also in his tomb at Bab-el-meluk. 



1230 B. C. (= 1280 y. 2 mo. — " 51 yrs " of the Afr.-Maneth. table), a date possibly
