proportionately narrower; but our collections contain it not in a fully 
ripe state, but it is then only l x /2 inches broad. The racheoles are 
remarkably small, because they seem more numerous than in any other 
congener, as about a dozen in each transverse series can be counted on 
a side-vievv of the strobile near its middle; moreover they are almost 
fan-shaped. The species, here novv described, seems nearest to D. Morrei 
of New Caledonia. In all cases it is preferable to use the earliest of 
binary names for any plant, whatever other objections can be raised, so 
long as it is correctly retainable within the genus first adopted. If all 
ante-Linnean names are to be discarded, then Agathis must precede 
Dammara in designatiug the Kauri-Pines. 
The same collector brought from the same region a variety (pleiocarpa) 
of Ackama Muelleri , with often three and sometimes four fruitlets, and 
with leaflets on short stalklets. Possibly it may be a distinct species. 
It offers an approach to Spiranthemum.
