 Page 49. Professor Hackel is of opinion that the specimens I have 

 named Sporobolus orientalis, Kunth, and what is repre- 

 sented on Plate XXXII., should be referred to S. 

 pallidus, Nees, or to a variety of that species. Only 

 the name requires alteration, and the synonym Vilfa 

 orientalis should disappear. 

 Page 54. The name Chloris digitata, Steud., should replace that 



of G. Roxburghiana, Edgew. 

 Page 55. Add Tetrapogon tetrastaehys, Hack. Monogr. ined 

 (n. sp.;, concerning which Professor Hackel remarks — 

 "A very surprising new species, not only differing 

 from T, villosus by its four spikes, but by a host of 

 characters." It is this grass which is so especially 

 characteristic of the reh soils of the Doab. The N.- 

 W. Provinces Vernacular names under T. villosus 

 should be referred here, also Plate LXVIII. 

 ,, Line 14 from bottom, for " Sporobolus orientalis" read 



" Sporobolus palludus." 

 Page 64. Professor Hackel distinguishes a variety of Eragrostis 

 plumosa, Link., with congested panicles, under the name 

 of densiflora. This variety is plentiful in Northern 

 India on sandy and saline soils. 

 Page 65. Add Eragrostis stenophylla, Hochst. Abundant in wet 

 ground. I have specimens from the Doab, Bundel- 

 khand, and from Mount Abu. 

 ,, For Eragrostis tremula, Hochst., substitute the name 



Eragrostis rachitricha, Hochst., the true E. tremula 

 being apparently confined to Nubia. 

 Add to Vernacular List — 



Eallak = Andropogon micranthus, Kunth. Var. villosulus. 

 Chiriala = Andropogon Nardus, Linn. Subsp. khasianus, Hack.
