identifications as well as perplexing and pardonable mixtures. Thus 

 the specimen which he regarded as Chamaecy parts thurifera, Endlicher, 

 turns out to be a peculiar variant of the Chinese Arbor- Vitae, Thuya 

 (Biota) orientalist while his labelled specimen of Abies grandis is 

 A. amabilis, though not the A. grandis ascribed to him. Similarly, 

 his Abies Alcoquiana represents a mixture of the cone-scales of Picea 

 bicolor and the leaves of P. hondoensis ; the two sheets of Micro- 

 cachrys tetragona contain that species as well as Phaerosphaera 

 Hookeriana, and, not to add unnecessarily to the list, one of his speci- 

 mens of Abies Webbiana is A. homolepis. 



In the tabulation of the specimens I have thought it desirable to 

 follow the sequence in which these are preserved in the Herbarium, 

 and where any doubt has existed as to the correct status of any par- 

 ticular specimen, I have availed myself of the facilities of the Kew 

 Herbarium, and have instituted comparisons. The cones relating to 

 the specimens were, unfortunately, in the majority of cases removed 

 to the adjoining Botanical Museum, and as no numbers or notes connect 

 these with the mounted specimens, it is obviously impossible to 

 recognize them without the expenditure of infinite trouble and loss 

 of time. 



Three non-gymnospermous specimens were included in the 

 Podocarp cover, a Hakea species which in the absence of flowers or 

 fruit is further indeterminable, Drapetes Dieffenbachii, a Thymelaeace- 

 ous alpine plant from New Zealand, and an undescribed Bertya, for 

 which the name B. neglecta f has been proposed. 



I am indebted to Professor A. Henry, whose knowledge of 

 the cultivated Conifers is unique, for criticizing or verifying my 

 identifications, and in conclusion beg to tender my thanks to Professor 

 Seward for permitting the publication of this List. 



LIST OF CONIFERS IN THE LINDLEY COLLECTION. 



Callitris glauca, R. Brown ex Mirbel in Mem. Mus. Paris, 

 xiii., 74 (1825). 



A fruiting specimen collected by Lieutenant-Colonel Sir T. L. 

 Mitchell in June 1846, not 1845 (No. 137), labelled ' Callitris, sp. nov. 

 Sub-Tropical New Holland.' 



Baker and Smith, in their Research on the Pines of Australia, 120 

 (1910), state that two specimens of this species are in the Lindley 

 Herbarium ; but I can find only one which I can conscientiously assign 

 to this species, the other which I presume they mean being C. intra- 

 tropica, as is evident by its blackish non-tuberculate cone and the 

 solitary or paired cylindric male strobiles. 



C. intratropica, F. Mueller ex Bentham, Fl. Aust. vi., 237 (1873). 

 (Frenela robusta var. microcarpa, Bentham, I.e.) 



A specimen in fruit, labelled ' C. glauca, Sub-Tropical New Holland,'
