"MEETING OF THE JosseLYN BoranicaL SocrETY.— The thir- 
teenth field meeting of the Josselyn Botanical Society of Maine 
was held at Oxford, Maine, from July Ist to 6th. Owing to var- 
ious circumstances, there was a very small attendance, but those 
present found ample material to reward their efforts. The localities 
of especial interest were the low woods and sandy plains surrounding 
Whitney Pond, the rocky wooded shores of Thompson Lake, and the 
extensive arbor-vitae swamps in the town of Norway. The local 
botanists were very kind in pointing out localities of special interest; 
Mr. George R. Howe of Norway placing on exhibition his large collec- 
tion of gems, insects, and other objects of natural history, as well as 
guiding the party on the trip to the Norway bogs. Mr. W. L. Bacon 
showed a large collection of the ferns of the region, including many 
of more than local interest. 
A list of all the flowering plants and ferns seen or collected has been 
kept, and will be published later; the following list, therefore, repre- 
sents only the plants of unusual interest. On the sand-plain near 
Whitney Pond large patches of Lupinus perennis, L., were found with 
Corylus Americana, Walt. and Convolvulus spithamaeus, L. This is 
the first undoubted station for the Lupine in Maine, the record pre- 
viously depending upon a report in the first edition of the Portland 
Catalog, (1868). Stations for Aspidium cristatum clintonianum, D. 
C. E., Habenaria blephariglottis, Torr., Medicago denticulata Willd., and 
Erodium cicutarium, L'Her., were found in Oxford; on the Norway 
trip, Cystopteris bulbijera, Bernh., Cyprepedium spectabile, Salisb., 
Habenaria hyperborea, R. Br., and Arceuthobium pusillum, Peck. 
were found in abundance. The Dwarf Mistletoe was also found in a 
bog in Casco, Cumberland Co., with Woodwardia Virginica, Smith, 
and two plants of Habenaria macrophylla, Goldie, were secured in 
Otisfield.— Epwarp B. CHAMBERLAIN, Cumberland Center, Maine. 
Vol. 9, no. 102, including pages 93 to 108 and plates 74 and 75 was
