flowers in two rows on the horizontally spreading branchlets. Lonicera

[For permission to make sixteen of the thirty-one lantern -sHdes 

 by which the lecture was illustrated, we have to express our obhgations 

 to Harvard University and Prof. C. S. Sargent. They were selected 

 from the collections of photographs made by Mr. E. H. Wilson during 

 his last two journeys in Western China.]
