I have little doubt as to the correctness of the identification, for the 
specimens agree with a series of American forms, so named, in the her- 
barium of the Bureau of Science, but do not agree with our West Indian 
material of Oestrum pallidum Lam. Mr. Safford states that it is of compar- 
atively recent introduction in Guam, but that it has been distributed all 
over the island by fruit eating birds. He also states that he was not quite 
certain as to the identity of the plant that was referred to C. pallidum 
Lam.
