cies are allied to S. imdiilata ; J?, convexula is distinguished by its 

 cordate antical lobe, the margin of which is coarsely spinose-dentate ; 

 S. paliiiiosa is a delicate and tiaccid species in which the antical lobe 

 is broadly orbicular in outline, more or less cordate where it meets 

 the postical lobe and distinctly decurrent on the other side. In S. 

 irrigua, which is also closely related to S. paludosa, the lobes of the 

 leaves are usually apiculate at the apex instead of being rounded. 



In the writer's Preliminary List of New England Hepaticae, 123 

 species are noted. Of this number, 75 are accredited to Maine, 81 

 to New Hampshire, 67 to Vermont, 76 to Massachusetts, 65 to 

 Rhode Island and 93 to Connecticut; while 31 species are accredited 

 to all six of the New England States. During the short time which 

 has elapsed since the publication of this list, additions have been 

 made to the hepatic Horas of every State except Rhode Island, and 

 the majority of these are the result of explorations made during 1903. 

 The most noteworthy of these additions have already been referred 

 to in the preceding pages; the others are as follows: 



For Maine. Riccia Sullivautii : Waterville {E. B. Chamberlain) : 

 this record was inadvertently omitted from the Preliminary List. 

 Harpanthus scutatus ; The Sands, near Prospect Harbor {Mrs. 

 A. R. Northrtip) : specimens from this locality were kindly sent the 

 writer by Miss Haynes.

 aria ; North Pownal [A. LeRoy Andrews). Jungermantiia lanceolata ;
