INTRODUCTORY STATEMENT The plant material included in this inventory (Nos. 81620 to 82599) for the period from October 1, 1929, to December 31, 1929, represents very largely the collections made in the Orient by W. J. Morse and P. H. Dorsett. Since forage crops in general and soybeans in particular were the aims of this expedition, it is not surprising that over 250 samples are represented. They include types and strains ranging from those bought from farmers' fields to specialized samples representing local selection work. It is interesting to observe also among the notes given for Nos. 81762 to 81786 the extent of variations already observed and isolated at the several experiment stations and to note that their collections include strains originally obtained outside of Japan. Red clovers also are well represented with samples collected in the wild in many parts of Japan, three samples coming from the Koton Experiment Station at Hokushu from seed originally obtained from Finland and one from Sweden; also four collections were obtained from Chosen. | A few alfalfas are included, some collections being from native sources, I while others are purchases, but all resulting from the work of H. L. Westover, of the Division of Forage Crops and Diseases. | Adsuki beans are also included in several numbers as a result of the collect- ! ing work of Messrs. Dorsett and Morse. These show almost as much variation | in character and in origin as do the soybeans. Most of these were obtained in Chosen, together with samples of mung beans and rice beans from the native markets. Lespedezas are included also in the general collections from Dorsett and Morse, all being received as unidentified species. In addition to the material sent in by the explorers already mentioned, this I inventory includes material sent in by Messers. Ryerson, Alderman, and [Leslie from Canada, by R. K. Beattie from Japan, and by W. E. Whitehouse from Persia, as well as material received in exchange from foreign collabo- rators and that procured by purchase. 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 horticultural varieties of fruits, vegetables, cereals, and other plants used in this inventory are those under which the material was received when introduced by the Division 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 identification from 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 Identification 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 identifications, there- fore, 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 division, herbarium specimens of leaves and flowers should be sent in, so that definite identification can be made. 3 PLANT MATERIAL INTRODUCED
