INTRODUCTORY STATEMENT This inventory (Nos. 80811 to 81619), for the period from July 1 to Septem- ber 30, 1929, is conspicuous for the fact that it records the arrival of seeds rather than plants. This is particularly important for the reader to remember, as the acquisition of seeds in no way guarantees their germination or the production of plants. In many cases definite knowledge exists that no plants will result from the seeds recorded. The continued activities of the agricultural explorers in the Orient, P. H. Dorsett and W. J. Morse, are attested by their long lists of soybean varieties, as well as many other forage crops and miscellaneous plants. Particular attention may be called to the many seeds presented by S. W. McLeod Braggins, superintendent, La Mortola, Ventimiglia, Italy (81O74r- 81208), including many species of aloe, agave, and sempervivum, for use in localities with similar climates. This material was brought in for particular experimental work and will not be available for other experimenters for sev- eral years, as some studies will have to be made in order to determine varia- tions from seed due to cross-pollination and the breaking up resulting from hybrid seeds. This inventory also records additions to the collection of ericas already brought in for Government testing and study. Of particular note is the gift of seeds of rare Cape heaths, presented by R. H. Compton, Director of the National Botanic Gardens, Kirstenbosch, Newlands, Union of South Africa (Erica spp., 81230-81247). Not all of these have produced plants, but from those that have germinated will come several new heaths for general experiment. Several importations of sugarcanes are included from the Java Sugar-Pro- ducers Association's experiment station, Pasuruan, Java (81356-81381) ; from the Colonial Sugar Refining Co., Sydney, Australia (80952^-80995 and 81448- 81472) ; a collection of melons (Cuoumis mel®, 81382-81405) presented by the Deputy Director of Gardens at Saharanpur, through the Director of the Agricul- tural Research Institute, Imperial Department of Agriculture in India, at Pusa, and Robert Frazer, American consul general, Calcutta, India, and many palms (81581-81594) presented by R. O. Williams, Superintendent and Assistant Botanist of the Department of Agriculture, Port of Spain, Trinidad, British West Indies, for the collection at Chapman Field, Coconut Grove, Fla. The botanical determinations of these introductions have been made and the nomenclature determined by H. C. Skeels, who has had general supervision of this inventory. KNOWLES A.

1 It should be understood that the names of varieties of fruits, vegetables, cereals, and other plants used in this inventory are those under which the material was received when introduced by the Office of Foreign Plant Introduction, and, further, that the printing of such names here does not constitute their official publication and adoption in this country. As the different varieties are studied, their entrance into the American trade forecast, and the use of varietal names for them in American literature becomes necessary, the foreign varietal designations appearing in this inventory will be subject to change with a view to bringing the forms of the names into harmony with recognized horticultural nomenclature. It is a well-known fact that botanical descriptions, both technical and economic, seldom mention the seeds at all and rarely describe them in such a way as to make possible iden- tification fronr the seeds alone. Many of the unusual plants listed in these inventories are appearing in this country for the first time, and there are no seed samples or herbarium specimens with ripe seeds with which the new arrivals may be compared. The only identi- fication possible is to see that the sample received resembles seeds of other species of the same genus or of related genera. The responsibility for the identification, therefore, must necessarily often rest with the person sending the material. If there is any question regarding the correctness of the identification of any plant received from this office, herba- rium specimens of leaves and flowers should be sent in so that definite identification can be made.
