The list given above must be regarded only as a preliminary 

 one and as quite open to liberal emendation. We trust that 

 many of our readers will visit some of the places named during 

 the ensuing summer and send us reports of their observations.- 

 We shall probably republish the list in separate segments. 

 We shall be glad to receive not only special descriptions of 

 single places, but brief notes of tours giving information as to 

 what may be conveniently visited in series. The gift or loan 

 of local guide books will also be acceptable. 



Double-lilied Arums. — Two specimens of a duplicate 

 white spathe in an arum have been brought to us at the 

 Vivarium. They were exactly alike, and we were told that 

 there were others. In one spathe there was the flower column 

 as usual, but in its duplicate there was none. The spathe in the 

 latter was developed at the end of an ensheathing leaf. ' It was 

 as large as the other, though not quite so tall. It was of the 

 same ivory-white aspect excepting at its tip, where it was 

 green. This latter feature illustrates in a most instructive 

 manner Goethe's observations as to the development from 

 leaves of the various parts of the floral envelope. It may be 

 especially noted that it was the proximal portion of the dupli- 

 cate spathe which had assumed the petaloid condition. It 

 was the distal end which was green.
