extreme division which, the Prodromus of De Candolle ^ still com- 

 pletely maintains. The principal leaders of this movement were 

 Payer ^ and Seemann^ who reunited, under the name of Artocarpece 

 nearly all the genera we have just passed in review, but who have 

 recently been surpassed in this respect by Bentham* with whom the 

 limits of the Urticem have returned very nearly to what they were 

 in the time of JussiEU. In 1847Teecul^ published an important 

 memoir on the family of Artocarpece, in which he enumerates (with 

 the description of a hundred species) all the genera, to the number of 

 forty, recognised in it ; ® he adds the six genera Cudrania, Dicrano- 

 stachys, Helicostylis, Noyera, Pseudolmedia, Treculia and the new 

 genus of Morece, Pleeospermum. J. E. Planchon, in 1848'' and in 

 1873,^ made a monographic study of the Ulmacece, among which, to 

 the genera known before his labours, Ulnms, Celtis, Trema (Sponia), 

 Gironniera, Planera, Ahelicea (Zelkova) and Parasponia, he added the 

 three types Holoptelea, Aphananthe, and Choetacme? Th^ genus 

 Ampelocera, proposed by Klotzsch in 1843, ought, in our opinion, 

 to be placed beside the preceding. In 1873 E. Bureau wrote for 

 the Prodromus a complete description of the group of the Morece '" 

 and a sketch of that of the Artocarpece}^ In the former he 

 describes twenty-four genera,^® comprising about ninety species, 

 and in the latter, he enumerates twenty-nine genera, with ap- 

 proximately seven hundred and fifty species. The new genera 

 of Morece established by him in this work, and which we have 

 retained, are six in number, viz.: Biphcos, Phyllochlamys^ Pseudo-
