of it, but shall hope to greet it again another year. Gray's Manual 

 gives the range of this species as from Illinois and Missouri to North 

 Carolina and Texas. It has, however, been known for some time 

 near Providence, Rhode Island (see W. W. Bailey. Rhodora, iv. 

 198), and I learn from the Gray Herbarium that Mr. J. C. Parlin 

 has found it spreading from wool-waste at North Berwick, Maine. 



It seems probable that it may have been introduced at the Con- 

 necticut station in grass seed.— Frances M. Graves, New London, 

 Connecticut. 



Further Stations for Botrichium matricariaefolium in Con- 

 necticut.— Bishop's list gives only two stations for Botrychium mat- 

 ricariaefolium, one in Sherman (Fairfield County), the other in 

 Franklin (New London County). In Rhodora, 3: 36 (1901) Mr. 

 A. W. Driggs notes the finding of B. mairicariaefoliiwi in West Hart- 

 ford (Hartford County). In June, 1901, the writer collected several 

 specimens at Mansfield (Tolland County). During the summer of 

 1902 at Cornwall Bridge (Litchfield County) many specimens were 

 found; and at Kent Falls, North Kent, in the same county one 

 plant was collected. Last summer (1903) this species was found 

 to be abundant on the mountain slopes in Salisbury (Litchfield 

 County). Specimens from these stations are preserved in the 

 writer's herbarium. 



As this plant has been found in five of the eight counties and in 

 widely separated parts of the state, it is probable that it has been 

 overlooked and will be found to be generally distributed throughout.
