Triglochin maritima L., in spite of its usually maritime habitat, is 
frequent on wet shores and in mossy swamps of northern and north- 
central Maine and it also occurs in swamps of interior New York. 
In Aroostook County, Maine, it is associated in Larch and Arbor 
Vitae Swamps with Cypripedium hirsutum Mill, Valeriana uliginosa 
(T. & G.) Rydb., &c., and it may be looked for in similar situations 
in northern New Hampshire and Vermont. 
T. palustris L. is also of wide distribution in Maine. Itis a com- 
mon plant of limy or slightly brackish wet places in the northern sec- 
tion of the state as well as in northern New Brunswick and Quebec; 
and it follows the coast, in brackish marshes, to Wells, near the New 
Hampshire border. 'The species may be confidently sought on the 
coast of New Hampshire as well as in marly bogs of northern New 
Hampshire and Vermont.

MEETING or THE JossELYN Boraxicar Sociery.— The fourteenth 
annual meeting of the Josselyn Botanical Society of Maine was held 
at Manset, Mt. Desert Island, Maine, from August 4th to 6th. About 
a dozen members and guests were present. Unfortunately the weather 
did not prove as favorable as was hoped, but in other respects the 
meeting was very successful. Excursions were made to Great Cran- 
berry Island, Bass Harbor, the Sea Wall, Sargent Mountain, Flying 
Mountain, and Robinson Mountain. The Mt. Desert region is as 
well studied as any area of similar size in the state, hence it was not 
expected that any real additions to the local list would be made, save 
such species as may have been described since the publication of the 
Flora of Mt. Desert. Іп this, however, the Society was most agreeably 
disappointed, and the following species are believed to represent real 
additions to the flora of the island. I am indebted to Mr. Ora W. 
Knight for the determination of the Carices. 
Carex Bebbii Olney. Vicia tetrasperma L. 
" lurida Wahl., var. gracilis Bailey. Echinospermum Lappula Lehm. 
* scoparia Schkuhr, var. condensa Fernald. Campanula uliginosa Rydb. 
* vesicaria L., var, monile Fernald, 
A list of the plants seen or collected during the meeting, containing 
stations for the rarer species, will soon be issued as Bulletin 2 of the 
Society.— Epwarp B. CHAMBERLAIN, Cumberland Center, Maine.
