ROBINSON. 
Britton, director in chief of the New York Botanical Garden. Every 
one of the species here referred to from the Williams collection will 
be found at New York, and naturally when the material is unequally 
perfect, the more complete representation will be in the original set. 
The first paper was worked out entirely at the New York Botanical 
Garden, the present embodies the results of work done there, with the 
further advantages of the comparison of material with the Philippine 
types in the herbarium of the Bureau of Science, and the -assistance of 
many notes made by Mr. E. D. Merrill upon material in various European 
herbaria. While the plants of the Williams collection still form the 
chief basis for discussion, various other species have been reported upon.
