Description: The region, from which the Vernonieae and the Eupatorieae have been worked out, includes the Greater Sunda Islands, the Lesser Sunda Islands and the Moluccas. It is a well-known fact, that the Malay Peninsula and the Philippines have a flora, which is related to that of the Malay Archipelago, sensu stricto, belonging to the same region indeed. The Compositae of these parts have, however, been recently dealt with by RIDLEY (Fl. Mal. Pen. II, 1923, 177) and by MERRILL (Enum. Phil. Flow. Pl. III, 1923, 591) respectively, whereas those from New Guinea, which is floristically less related to the Malay Archipelago, have been worked out by MATTFELD (Engl. Bot. Jahrb. LXII, 1929, 386).\nThe material, used for this paper, chiefly belongs to the National Herbarium (Rijksherbarium), Leiden (L), the Herbarium of the Botanical Gardens, Buitenzorg (B) and the University Herbarium, Utrecht (U); for the rest it is to be found in the Herbarium of the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew (K) and the Herbarium of the British Museum, London (Br. M.); some specimens of the Herbarium of the Linnean Society of London and of the Herbarium of the \xe2\x80\x9eConservatoire botanique de la ville de Gen\xc3\xa8ve\xe2\x80\x9d (G) have also been studied, whereas the type specimen of Vernonia arborea was discovered in the Herbarium of the Royal Botanic Garden, Edinburgh. I feel greatly indebted to the Directors of these herbaria for their kindness in putting these materials at my disposal.

Description: \xc2\xa7 1. Das Ziel der Untersuchung war den Bau des Bl\xc3\xbctenstandes und der Bl\xc3\xbcten von Arceuthobium Dacrydii RIDLEY zu ermitteln und festzustellen, ob diese Pflanze wirklich ein Arceuthobium ist oder, wie eine oberfl\xc3\xa4chliche Untersuchung des Bl\xc3\xbctenstandes es vermuten liess, eine Korthalsella; und falls letzteres sich wirklich als richtig herausstellen sollte, weiter festzustellen, wie der Bau des Andr\xc3\xb6zeums dieser Art ist, welches f\xc3\xbcr Arten dieser Gattung von VAN TIEGHEM, HAYATA und LECOMTE in verschiedener Weise beschrieben wird. \xc2\xa7 2. Material und Methode. Das Material zu dieser Untersuchung stammte von Pflanzen, welche 1931 von Zweigen von Podocarpus imbricata BLUME im Walde des Naturreservates Tjibodas auf dem Gunung Ged\xc3\xa9 in Westjava gesammelt wurden, und zwar teilweise von F. W. WENT oder C. G. G. J. VAN STEENIS s.n. (vgl. Bull. Jard. Bot. Buitenz., ser. 3, 11, p. 456) und teilweise von W. M. DOCTERS VAN LEEUWEN (NO. 14166). Die letzteren wurden freundlichst vom Sammler aus seinen Privatsammlungen zur Verf\xc3\xbcgung gestellt. Die spezifische Identit\xc3\xa4t mit dem urspr\xc3\xbcnglichen Arceuthobium Dacrydii wurde durch erneute Vergleichung mit dessen Typus, der sich im Besitze des Botanischen Gartens zu Singapore befindet und nochmals g\xc3\xbctigst von der Direktion dieses Institutes f\xc3\xbcr unsern Zweck zugesandt wurde, festgestellt.

Description: X.\nNOTES ON THE NEWLY DESCRIBED GENUS\n\nCACOPHRYNE DAVIS\nRecently Davis (1935) pointed out that the toad known in literature as Bufo borbonicus (Tschudi) or Nectophryne borbonica (Tschudi) does not belong to either of these genera, and that it even does not belong to the Bufonidae, for the species differs from the true toads (Bufonidae) in two important characteristics, as it lacks Bidder\'s organs and does not possess testes of an elongated shape. Moreover the pectoral girdle proved to be firmisternal instead of arciferal. A new genus, Cacophryne, in the family Atelopodidae, was erected for this species by Davis, and this author (1935, p. 90) mentions that possibly some other species at present included in the genus Bufo, i.e., Bufo penangensis (Stol.), Bufo cruentatus (Tschudi) and Bufo leptopus Gthr. might also belong to the genus Cacophryne. To ascertain whether this was really the case I examined some specimens of Bufo cruentatus (Tschudi) and two specimens of Bufo leptopus Gthr. Of Cacophryne borbonica (Tschudi) I examined some specimens for comparison.\nAs I had but two specimens of Bufo leptopus Gthr. I only examined the pectoral girdle of one, and this proved to be decidedly arciferal as in the true Bufo\'s. Of Bufo cruentatus (Tschudi) and Cacophryne borbonica (Tschudi) I examined especially the osteological characters, and these led me to conclude that both species are congeneric, and that, therefore, cruentatus must also be referred to the genus Cacophryne Davis.\nThe following notes may be given on the anatomy of Cacophryne borbonica and Cacophryne cruentata. The vertebral column consists of eight

Description: In June 1932 we received at the Institute for Plant-diseases at Buitenzorg (Java) a number of Coreid bugs, sent by the Adjunct Agricultural Adviser stationed at Wonogiri (Res. Djocjacarta, Central Java), which bugs were reported of causing rather serious damage to Cassava plants (Manihot utillissima Pohl) ; the sending included some damaged plants.\nThe Coreids were sent for identification to Dr. H. C. Bl\xc3\xb6te, curator of the Leiden Museum, as it was known to me that he was studying this special group of Heteroptera. Recently Dr. Bl\xc3\xb6te (1935) described the species sent as Dasynus manihotis. It is closely related to another noxious species of Dasynus, some years ago described by China as Dasynus piperis, which is well known by the studies of Dr. J. van der Vecht (1933).\nCharacter of the damage. Dasynus manihotis sucks the top parts of the stems of the Cassava plants. Its punction causes the tissues to shrink and the leaves to wither. Soon after the punction the shrunken tissues take a brownish colour, later the leaves wither entirely and drop, and the stems that are much punctured die off. New leaves can develop from the lower part of the stem, but in the meantime growth is much retarded. The illustration (fig. 1) gives a good impression of the damage in its earlier stage. The irregular sunken patches in the lower part of the stem have a light tobacco to chocolate brown colour. The smaller spots between the second and the third small leaves from below are pale brown. Experiments in the laboratory on healthy plants gave the same symptoms.\nBionomical notes. The egg is 2 mm long. It is figured on approximately natural size (fig. 2) and enlarged (fig. 3). The colour is pale
