    299. (8) China Jaen. (Ash Baric.) Note.—This specimen consists of arched and twisted quills. It corre- sponds to the figures in Goebel und Kunze, Waar., taf. x., fig. 6-9. It is the bark of C. subcordata, and does not occur in Howard's collection. See Hist, des Drog., t. iii., p. 178. Per. Mat. Med., [3] vol. ii., pt. ii., p. 1636. (9) China pseudo-Loxa. Note.—This specimen is in quills, and corresponds in external appear- ance with Howard's specimen of C. officinalis, var. 5, crispa, from Peru. (10) China rubiginosa. Note.—This specimen is in flat pieces. One piece evidently belongs to C. pubescens, var. Pelleteriana, but the other two seem to correspond with the bark C. Tucujensis in Howard's collection. (11) China bicolorata. Note.—This specimen is in quills, and is identical with the specimen in Howard's collection labelled Stenostomum acutatum. The last two specimens were collected by H. von Bergen, but are not described in his work. (Note from Dr. Pereira's catalogue.) For fig., see Goebel und Kunze, pt. i., taf. xii., fig..6, 7. 300. Collection of Cinchona Barks, made under the superintendence of Dr. Julius Martin? (author of Encyclopedia der Mediciniscl.' pharmaceutischen naturalien und Rohwaarenkunde, 1843). It includes barlcs of (at that date) recent introduction, most of which have been described by him in the tvorh above quoted. (1) China Cusco vera. Note.—This specimen consists of fragments of quills, which appear to be those of C. pubescens, var. purpurea. (2) China rubiginosa nova. a. Flat pieces. Note.—This specimen appears to be the bark of C. lanceolata, R. et P. b. Quills. c. Flat pieces. Note.—Specimens b and c are referred by Mr. J. E. Howard to C. nitida, R. et P. (3) China alba, Humboldt. Note.—This specimen is in flat fragments. In its granular structure it corresponds to the white bark of Howard's collection, but differs slightly in the external surface not being so rough, and in the internal surface being of a purplish tint. It is accurately figured in Goebel und Kunze, pt. i., taf. xiv., figs. 9-11. (4) China regia spuria, ufrom Bordeaux. Note.—This bark is in quills, and consists chiefly of the bark of C. micrantha, R. et P., with one quill of C. Calisaya, Wedd. The bark of C. micrantha is readily recognised by its peculiar taste, which recalls that of Prunus Virginiana.
