— The recent articles calling attention to Arceuthobium pusillum at 
different points in Maine prompt this note, supplementing the series of 
Maine records. 
The plant first came to my attention during July, 1902, at West 
Jonesport, occurring rarely on Black Spruce, on the main land. Late 
in July, 1904, at Cross Island, off the mouth of Machias Bay, the plant 
was found in great profusion, again on Black Spruce. Here it infested 
patches of limited extent, with larger patches free from infection. 
On Matinicus Island, off the coast of Maine, on August 4th, 1907, 
this plant was found in greater abundance and size than I have seen it 
previously. It infested the small, exceedingly dense or “scrubby” 
White Spruces about the Northwest Head. 
I have often looked, vainly, for it about Casco Bay, yet we are now 
warranted in considering that it has been shown to occur throughout 
the northern, central, and eastern portions of the State.! The regu- 
larity of its distribution is another question, deserving of many reports.
