SCROPHULARIA LEPORELLA AT WILLOUGHBY. — While visiting the 
Willoughby region last August the writer made an exploring trip on 
the West side of the lake in company with Mr. A. B. Emerson of 
Barton. We first examined an unreported sphagnum swamp near 
the lake, known as “Beaver Meadow.” Numerous Heaths and 
Orchids were growing here in considerable quantity, some of which 
are marked uncommon in the listed flora of the region. This 
meadow deserves a more careful investigation by botanists. Emerg- 
ing from the swamp in the direction of the Barton road, and crossing 
an upland pasture, we came upon a colony of Scrophularia leporella, 
Bickn. The plants were growing vigorously in springy soil and close 
beside a large boulder. Though late in August several of the thyrses 
were in full bloom. ‘The writer recognized the genus and giving a 
specimen to Judge Churchill, he pronounced it S. /eporella, Bickn, 
The plant is not in Dr. Kennedy’s list of the Willoughby Flora, nor 
does it seem to have been previously reported from this part of the 
state. — Geo. H. Tilton, Woburn, Massachusetts. 
ILLUSTRATIONS AND STUDIES OF THE FAMILY ORCHIDACEAE,’ by 
Oakes Ames, A. M. — Mr. Ames's volume on the orchids is a notable 
contribution to the knowledge of this vast and difficult group of 
plants. The work not only shows great care in investigation, but in 
all details of presentation it is a model of clearness and accuracy. 
The present volume, which we are glad to learn is the forerunner of 
a series, deals with subject matter which may be grouped under four 
heads. In the first part about a score of tropical species, belonging 
to the genera Acoridium, Cestichis, Campylocentrum, Tonopsis, Coral-
