sis, Fr. & Sav., and the other, undoubtedly Ruprecht's species. In my specimens, which 

 I consider to be identical with A. Tcurilensis, Rnpr., the spikelets are generally in a sim- 

 ple raceme, oblong or obovate-oblong in outline, much flattened, 4-6 flowered, and 15- 

 20 mm. in length; and they are appressed hairy and dull-ashy in color. The glumes are 

 minute; the lower one is about 2 mm. long, and the upper about twice as long. The 

 inferior palets are oval-oblong, acuminate, 8-12 mm. long; the superior is shorter and 

 two-keeled. The stamens are six and included. The sheath of the leaves is not bearded 

 at the throat. The branches and leaves are crowded and stunted in a fertile plant. 



In the vicinity of Shana in Etorofu, the bamboo grows so thick and tall as to form al- 

 most impassable thickets. The different varieties (?) of A. Tcurilensis, Rupr., established 

 by F. Schmidt, would most likely occur also in the Kurile Islands and in northern Japan 

 and they require a most careful future study. Professor Maximowicz kindly informs me 

 that the var. spiculosa of Schmidt has six stamens and is therefore a Bambusa. One of 

 the original specimens of var. paniculata, F. Schm., in the Gray Herbarium, does not 

 differ from Bambusa senanensis, Fr. & Sav.
