northern New England to Lake Superior and northward, but Britton 
takes it south zn the mountains to North Carolina. Its occurrence in 
the eastern part of Massachusetts is interesting, and even more 
remarkable is the coincidence in one town of only moderate eleva- 
tion of these two species of one genus, one of an essentially northern 
and mountainous range, the other perhaps reaching here its northern 
limit.— ARTHUR STANLEY Pease, Andover, Massachusetts. 
Lycopopium SELAGO ON Mr. HOLYOKE, MASSACHUSETTS.— AS a 
new station for a rare plant is always of interest to botanists, it may 
be worth while to record in Ruopora the occurrence of Lycopodium 
Selago at a second station in Massachusetts. I say second although 
I am aware that it has been reported both at Greylock and on Mt, 
Watatic. Its occurrence in the latter place, however, I consider 
extremely doubtful since the only direct reference to its being there 
is found in a flora gotten up by high school students who, I am 
informed by persons who happened to know something of their 
methods, were not in every case sufficiently careful. Furthermore, 
I am unable to locate specimens coming from Mt. Watatic. 
The new location which I mention is the extreme summit of Mt. 
Holyoke, just west of the * Notch," where the Lycopodium was found 
growing at an elevation of about 960 feet on the north side of cliffs. 
There was only one limited station and the plants were few in num- 
ber. 
A search of the neighboring peaks failed to show more of this 
species. Specimens from the Mt. Holyoke station may be found in 
the Gray Herbarium and in the herbarium of the Massachusetts 
Agricultural College.— GEORGE F. FREEMAN, Asst. Prof. of Botany, 
Mass. Agr. College, Amherst. 
CUSCUTA TRIFOLIA IN MASSACHUSETTS.— Some time ago complaint 
was received at the Hatch Experiment Station from a farmer living 
in Winchester, Massachusetts, that a large field of red clover ( 7»/fo- 
lium pratense, L.) had been greatly damaged by dodder. He claimed 
the dodder was so thickly established that raking the cut clover was 
practically impossible. Later a large bundle of the infested crop 
was sent to the Station. The dodder had so completely intertwined
