REMARKS

Chin-Chih Jao (1900-1997) carried out his doctoral research at the University of Michigan in the 1930s, but a search of MICH by Dr M. J. Wynne revealed no type or any other material, even though a footnote on p. 99 of his publication specified that types were deposited there. Original material may have been brought to China by Dr Jao ( MBMCAS) but its current location is unknown.
