Droseracece and the Dionce should be included in one
natural order. Should this be adopted, the name

and intelligible for this natural order than any Latin
or Greek name that could possibly be coined.

* It must be borne in mind, that, during the summer-time, rooms
are often let on the " Box and Cox" principle; as some travellers
sleep during the heat of the day and travel through the light nights.
