19051 Haberer, — Plants of Oneida County, New York 93 
lakes, with the dark color characteristic of Adirondack waters. To 
the north and east, there is an unbounded stretch of mountains and 
woods, and to the south and west, a country that is, for the most part, 
much lower, flat, barren and sandy. The streams are rapid, and 
although flowing to the south, the drainage is into Lake Ontario 
through the Black River, the elevation of which at the ingress of 
these streams is about 1100 feet. 
White Lake, the central point of observation, lies at an altitude of 
about 1450 feet above the sea level, and is in latitude 43° 32' N., and 
longitude 75° 13' W. of Greenwich. It is an intermediate station on 
the main artery of travel, that leads to the famous “North Woods” 
and John Brown Tract. 
The flora of this portion of the county is similar to that ot the 
adjacent Adirondacks,! in some respects it bears relationship to that 
of the Mohawk Valley,? and combines features common to both 
regions. 
Forty years ago when Paine's Catalogue of the Plants of Oneida 
County and "Vicinity? was published, the region in question was 
little known and almost inaccessible; therefore, the following list of 
plants with notes, includes only those (with few exceptions), that are 
additions to or admit of comparison with the record in that compre- 
hensive work. 
The asterisk (*) indicates plants not included in the Catalogue; 
the dagger (T) those included in that work, but with no definite 
record of their having been found in the county. 
Specimens of many of the plants have been contributed to the 
Gray Herbarium at Harvard University, and the State Herbarium at 
Albany. Acknowledgments are due to Dr. B. L. Robinson, Mr. M. 
L. Fernald and Prof. C. H. Peck for assistance in the determination 
of doubtful plants. A number of plants are as yet undetermined, and 
a report of these and many others from different portions of Central 
New York must be deferred to subsequent issues of this Journal.

One of the first plants to attract our attention was a dwarf form of 
! The altitude of Jock's (Honnedaga) Lake, the highest in the woods, is 2187 
feet. 
2 The average elevation of Utica is 500 feet, and of the Mohawk river bank at 
this point 410 feet.
