ADDENDA AND ERRATA. 
 
 The U.S. Department of Agriculture, in the report of its Division of Pomology, is about to issue lists of these Russian fruits, in alphabetical order, 
 prepared by Hon. T. T. Lyon, President of the Michigan State Horticultural Society. Thus, these ''suggestions " of mine have unexpectedly become 
 fixed and unchangeable ; that is, owing to their appearance in the Am. Pom. Soc.'s report, and at the same time by Mr. Lyon in the U.S. report, it will 
 be found unadvisable to make any change except for some glaring mistake. 
 
 As accuracy is everything in such work, I append a list of typographical errors.

 Nomenclature of Our Russian Fruits. 
 
 By resolution of youi Society at Grand 
 Eapids, in 1885, 1 was "given the specia 
 work of revising and arranging the 
 nomenclature of American importations 
 of Eussian fruits," but it seemed best not 
 to undertake the work at once. There 
 were too many queries; too many things 
 supposed, but not known. My sugges- 
 tions are now the better for the delay. 
 Since then I have seen Dr. Edward Eegel 
 at St. Petersburg, also his son, Mr. Albert 
 Eegel, who had lately returned from 
 Turkestan, and who was his father's cor- 
 respondent when making that general 
 collection of the apples of Eussia, from 
 which he selected those sent to the 
 United States Department of Agriculture 
 in 1870. The result is that I can now 
 offer you a correct Eussian original of 
 that importation, except two or three 
 names, which can only be vaguely 
 guessed at. 
 
 It may be remembered that the list sent 
 by Dr. Eegel to Mr. Wm. Saunders, of 
 tlie Agricultural Department at Wash- 
 ington, was lost at the Eussian embassy 
 there, and Mr. Saunders was thus forced 
 to issue it in the form in which it was re- 
 turned to him. 
 
 1 also had, last winter, several inter- 
 views with Count Alexeeff, of Moscow, a 
 Eussian physician and scientist, who has 
 aided me very much in this work. 
 
 Owing to the confusion existing among 
 
 the names of these Eussian fruits, Prof. 
 Budd and I talked matters over, and I 
 prepared lists of these different importa- 
 tions, and they appeared in a bulletin of 
 the Iowa Agricultural College in 1885, al- 
 though a large number of St. Petersburg 
 varieties interwoven at the last moment,, 
 by Prof. Budd, I must not be held ac- 
 countable for. 
 
 I have aimed at: 
 
 1. A euphonic rendering of the Eussian 
 name, leaving no doubt as to the Eussian 
 letters composing that name. 
 
 2. For use in this country, a Eussian 
 name, or a translation, as short and fit as 
 I can suggest, retaining that given in the 
 Department list whenever practicable. I 
 have, however, retained several short 
 Eussian names, viz. : Anis instead of 
 Anisette, Arcad instead of Arcadian, 
 Borovinka instead of Mushroom, Eepka 
 instead of Turnip; also Eeinette rather 
 than Queen. I have also retained the word 
 Naliv, which is applied to the Skvosnoi, 
 Grlasapfel or Klarapfel, or Pomme Trans- 
 parente, and technically does not mean 
 "juicy." Unmusical names like ''Cut 
 Apple" and "Smelling Apple" I have 
 thought best to change. 
 
 Names in the Eussian column in 
 brackets, are names which do not appear 
 in Eegel's Eusskaya Pomologaya pub- 
 hshed in 1868.

 NOTES ON THE ABOVE. 
 
 No. 10 might prove the same as 964 Dep. Autumn Streaked. 243, Nasliednik Nico- 
 lai Aleksandrovitcb. I am at a loss for a short name jor this. Prof. Jankowski and 
 others give Nicolayer as a synonym, but Dr. Eegel never mentions it, neither in his 
 Eussian Pomology nor in any catalogue I have seen. Besides this Andre Leroy 
 states that Nicolayer is said to have originated in the Crimea, while Dr. Eegel gives 
 the St. Petersburg and Baltic coast provinces as the home of the N. N. A. Prof. 
 Budd suggested "Throne" because that personage was heir to the throne, and I at 
 the time agreed; yet I fear such a translation is so free as to be open to censure. 239 
 Zelenka may be 967 Dep. Zelenoe. 361 Pipka ostrokonetchnaya, the sharply pointed 
 pipka has been erroneously propagated as the Astrachan Pippin.

 CHEERIES RECEIVED AND DISTRIBUTED. 
 
 CHEERIBS. 
 
 Many varieties of Cherries have of late been imported .which were hitherto un- 
 known, or bat httle known in this country. However, except the Vladimir, Bessar- 
 abian, Lutovka and the Lyonskaya, which last comes to us with any rate a Eussian . 
 name, they have German or French names, and so need not be mentioned here. 
 
 In conclusiou, I would say that we have been in great need of authoritative action 
 in the naming of new foreign fruits. We here have a suggestion to our authoritative 
 body. I have been critical upon what work has been done. 1 cannot refuse tc 
 stand shot. Fair criticism should so far bring to light the faults of this work as to 
 bring about its adoption in modified form at the next meeting of the American Pomo- 
 logioal Society 
 
 NOTES. 
 
 •No. 265, Pipka gorkaya is literally the 
 Bitter Pipka, but Mr. Schroeder, of Mos- 
 cow, says it is by no means bitter, and a 
 fine sub-acid apple, which received its 
 name from the town of Gorke, where it 
 originated; and yet if so it should have 
 been named Pipka Goretskaya. 268, Za- 
 koritnoe, which means a dug-out trough, 
 or which might mean a velvety apple, 
 must not be confused with Sacharnaya, 
 Sacharine. 231, Zolotoi arkad, Golden 
 Arcad, must not be mistaken for 188 and 
 237, Yellow Arcad. 310, Christapfel is a 
 fairly accurate translation of 447 Eosh- 
 destvenskoe. 295, Imperial is not in Ee- 
 gel, but might be a translation of 208, 
 Korolevskoe, or of such a name as Tsars- 
 koe. 350 and 554, Lapouchoe, are trans- 
 lated Burr, but Dr. Alexeeff tells- me that 
 although (to be more exact) Lapukhoe 
 may mean Burr, yet Lapoukhoe (a dis- 
 tinction I can hardly make in English let- 
 ters) means Great Bars. This latter is 
 that described by Eegel, and I have there- 
 fore retained the Eussian name. 413, 
 Skrijapel, as it appears in Eussian, in 
 Eegel, is translated Cross. The termina- 
 tion " apel " the Eussianized form of 
 ^'apfel" betokened German origin, but 
 
 Germans would not recognize it, and I- 
 had said it was not Cross. Itdidnotthen 
 occur to me that it was Danisn. 437, 
 Saohoiswan, puzzles both Dr. Eegel and 
 Mr. Albert Eegel. The name seems un- 
 known to them, and the Doctor can only 
 suggest that it might be intended for 
 Sacharnoe, Sacharine, or perhaps Zakor- 
 itnoe. The apple must have a name, so I 
 have retained the name Saxonian. 551, 
 Arbuzovskoe I have left as Watermelon, 
 even though it is named after Mr. Arbu- 
 zoff, Mr. Watermelon. 565, Yorgunok, 
 must not be. confused with Yargulek or 
 Vorgulek. 584, 1 have used Erdbeer in- 
 stead of Strawberry as we have so many 
 strawberry apples. 599, Eomnenskoe or 
 Eomenskoe? Eegelin his pomology gives 
 the former, as coming from Eomna, near 
 Moscow; but in his catalogues of late 
 years, he gives Eomenskoe, as though 
 from the town of Eomensk. Mr. Schroe- 
 der, of Moscow, in his Plodovui Sad, in 
 1886, adheres to Eomnenskoe. Mr. Albert 
 Eegel says he does not know, but says 
 that Eomna is not a fruit growing region, 
 and Eomensk is; leaving the chances in 
 favor of the latter. I mention this to 
 show that accuracy is not always possible.
