212 Rhodora [ OCTOBER 
Bailey, Providence — and has found in them only a single specimen 
of Pogonia pendula, this being in the Gray herbarium, collected by 
Prof. D. C. Eaton at New Haven, Conn. No data further than 
locality were given. Mr. F. W. Batchelder exhibited, at a meeting 
of the New England Botanical Club in 1899, a specimen collected 
from a large patch on the shores of Lake Winnipiseogee. In Mr. 
Williams's herbarium are two specimens collected by Mrs. Walker 
at Wilton, N. H., on the fifteenth day of August, 1899. The specimen 
in the writer's herbarium bears the date, August 1 5, 1899, being the 
exact date of the collecting of the specimens in Mr. Williams's 
herbarium. 
Baldwin gives Pogonia pendula as being found in three towns in 
New Hampshire, one in Vermont, four in Massachusetts, one in 
Rhode Island, and five in Connecticut. It is very doubtful, however, 
whether Mr. Baldwin saw specimens from the above localities, as many 
of his records were based upon unverified reports. 
Careful search along our New Hampshire border ought to reveal 
several more localities for this beautiful and somewhat rare orchid. 
UNIVERSITY OF MAINE, Orono, 
To FERN CorLECTORs.— Having now taken up my manuscript 
for a Text-Book and Synopsis of the Ferns of North America, 
planned in 1880, with the intention of revising and completing it for 
publication, and wishing to fill out more completely the Distri- 
bution Tables published in the Transactions of the Philosophical So- 
ciety of Philadelphia for February, 1883, I should be glad to 
receive from any one accurate lists of ferns known positively to grow 
within the limits of their states or vicinities. 
Specimens for verification, and vouchers, are also desired and 
will be returned to sender whenever requested. — GEoRGE E. DavEN-
