Pseudanthistiria heteroelita Hook. f. ; B. P. ii. 1206. Anthistiria 
heteroclita H. S. 708. 
Pastures about Calcutta, according to Roxburgh, also at Seram- 
pore, according to Voigt ; the record is doubtless accurate, but it is 
worth confirming, because there are no examples of the grass from 
our area in Herb., Calcutta. The species is a native of the Concan 
and Canara and it is very probably only a casual in Lower Bengal. 
649. Anthistiria Linn. 
Anthistiria ciliata Linn. f. ; B. P. ii. 1207. A . scandens H. S.

Serampore, according to Voigt, quite possibly, but the record needs 
confirmation; the species is common immediately to the west of our 
area. 
Anthistiria gigantea Cav. var. aruudiuacea Hack. ; B. P. ii. 1207. 
Andropogon arundinaceus H. S. 706. 
Serampore, according to Voigt; a record that needs confirmation ; 
the species is common in North Bengal and in East Bengal, but if it 
formerly existed in our area it would now seem to have disappeared.
