Duby, J. E. Diagnosis Muscorum novorum quos die 7 Dec. 1876 Societati Physicae 
et Historiae naturalis Genevensis cum iconibus et descriptionibus communi- 
cavit. ( Flora 35 (1877) pp. 73-77; 90-95.) 
Contains descriptions of three species of Philippine mosses collected 
by Padre Llanos, Orthotriclium coralloides, Hypnum llanosii, and 11. philip- 
pinense. The same paper is reprinted in Mem. Soc. Phys. Geneve 26 (1879)

Gagnepain, F. Revision des Genres Mantisia et Globba. (Bull. Hoc. Hot. France 
48 (1901) pp. 201-216.) 
Four species of Globba are credited to the Philippines, G. parviflora Presl, 
G. uliginosa Miq., G. ustulata, and G. barthei, the last two being described 
as new. G. uliginosa, however, must be excluded as the Cuming plant cited 
was from Malacca, not from the Philippines. 
Geheeb, A. Bryologische Fragmente III. (Flora 44 (1886) pp. 340-353.) 
On pages 350 to 353, under the heading “Sulu-Moose,” 16 species from 
the collections of F. W. Burbidge, 1877-78, are enumerated. Most of the 
species are from Sulu, but some are from Borneo.

U. S. N. Vol. 1 (1854) pp. 1-777, with folio atlas of 100 plates. (Vol. 15 
of the whole work.) 
The Wilkes Expedition was in the Philippines for one month, January 13 
to February 12, in the year 1842, about 500 species of plants being collected 
in the Archipelago in that time. In Dr. Gray’s work 104 species from the 
Philippines are considered, of which 15 are described as new. The volume 
under consideration treats of the families from Ranunculaceae to Loran- 
tlmceac, inclusive, no more having been printed. The ferns collected on the 
expedition were considered by Brackenridge in volume 16 of the same work.
