mont, are not admitted to the recent Flora of Vermont by Brainerd, 

 Jones, & Eggleston, and are consequently omitted from the present 

 list of Vermont Carices : — Carex Crawei, C. gynoerates, C. rosca y 

 var. radiata, C. striata, C. Shortiana, C. tetanica, var. Meadii, C. 

 trichocarpa, C. varia, C. vestita. 



Two European species, Carex fulva, Good., and C. laevigata, J. E. 

 Smith, were found, early in the last century by B. D. Greene, intro- 

 duced at Tewksbury, Massachusetts. They have apparently quite 

 disappeared from the original station. C. fulva, known to Goodenow 

 from " America and Newfoundland," occurs in bogs on Anticosti 

 and may yet be found on the eastern coast of Maine. 



Carex Careyana is included by Professor Bailey in the 6th edition 

 of Gray's Manual from New England, but no more definite record 

 has been found for this species usually confined to the Alleghanies 

 and the region further west. The nearest approach of the plant to 

 New England seems to be in Jefferson Co., west of the Adirondacks, 

 in New York. 



Carex elachycarpa, a species recently described from northern 

 Maine, proves upon study of more abundant material in various 

 stages of development to belong to some other genus of the Carieeae, 

 and the species is consequently omitted from the foregoing list. 



Suggestions for Special Observations. 



Certain species so closely approach the borders of states in which 

 they have not yet been detected that it is perhaps worth while to call 

 attention to them, that local botanists may know where these plants 

 are specially to be sought. 



Carex aenea occurs in Sheffield, Berkshire Co., Massachusetts 

 (Hoffmann) and should be sought in adjacent Litchfield Co., Con- 

 necticut. 



Carex aestivalis, found at the base of Mount Monadnock {Church- 

 ill) and in the intervales of the Cold River, Cheshire Co., New 

 Hampshire, on Grey Lock and Saddle Mountains, Berkshire Co., 

 Massachusetts (IVm. Boott), and from Pennsylvania southward, 

 should be sought in southern Vermont and western Connecticut. 



Carex albolutescens, usually confined to the coastal plain, has been 

 found on Mount Monadnock, New Hampshire (R. M. Harper), on 

 the Dome (Mt. Everett) at Sheffield, Berkshire Co., Massachusetts 

 (Hoffmann"), and in the adjacent mountains of Columbia Co., New
