NOTES 
Translations of Japanese Botanical Papers 
In the course of an investigation of the 
vegetation of Micronesia it became necessary 
to have translated a number of papers pub- 
lished in Japanese. To save unnecessary re- 
petition of this work by other investigators, 
carbon copies of these translations, eighteen 
in number, have been deposited in the library 
of the U. S. Department ofAgriculture and 
the Library of Congress, Washington, D. C., 
and in the Bishop Museum Library, Hono- 
lulu. The accompanying list gives the English 
transliterations of the authors’ names, English 
translations of the titles, and the references to 
the periodicals in which they were published. 
The translations were done under my di- 
rection by Mr. G. Luhrs Stroud, of Arlington, 
Va. In the especially difficult article on Digi- 
taria by Tuyama, the drafts were submitted 
to Mrs; Agnes Chase and Mr. Jason Swallen, 
of the Division of Agrostology of the U. S. 
National Herbarium, for scrutiny and cor- 
rection.
