Abstract
THE appearance of the first portion of Dr. Beccari's monographic account of the Asiatic Lepidocaryeae, devoted to the genus Calamus, was recorded in NATURE of August 12, 1909. It affords us pleasure to announce now the appearance of a second instalment of this great work, odealing with the genus Daemonorops, which, like Calamus itself, consists of “Rotangs,” and, among the genera of Palmeae, is only less important than Calamus because it includes a smaller number of recognisable forms.
