1 The authors wish to express their thanks to the authorities and librarians of the 

 Gray Herbarium, the Arnold Arboretum, and the New York Botanical Garden for per- 

 mission to consult their libraries freely. Several botanists have examined the lists of 

 titles of regions with which they are familiar and have suggested additional papers. 

 Dr. John Hendley Barnhart. of the New York Botanical Garden, has rendered much 

 assistance by furnishing full names and dates of some authors from his extensive card 

 catalog of botanists, now including about 35,000 cards.
