A FOURTH PINUS RIGIDA FOR Coos County, NEW HAMPSHIRE. — 
I have a fourth specimen of Pitch Pine (Pinus rigida Mill.) to record 
from Coos County, New Hampshire (see RHODORA, xl. 21 (1909). 
Mr. A. E. Philbrook of Philbrook Farm, Shelburne, in the south- 
eastern part of the county, found this fourth tree on his estate in 
February, 1909, and he showed it to me on May 14 of the same year. 
The tree is about 30 meters from the one first discovered, which was 
“on a wooded slope about 35 or 40 meters above the intervale," 
and is some 6 meters higher up. It is a good specimen measuring 
1.4 meters in circumference 12 decimeters above the ground, and is 
about 18 meters high. It is surrounded by the forest trees, but not 
unduly crowded by them, and is covered with cones though I was 
unable to find any seedlings or young trees near by. I preserved a 
specimen of the leaves for my herbarium. The rather surprising 
rarity of the Pitch Pine in Coos County may justify a printed record 
of this newly observed individual.— Warrer DEANE, Cambridge,

JosskLYN BOTANICAL Society oF MarxE.— The annual meeting of 
the society will be held from July 5th to 9th, 1910, at Jackman, Maine. 
Headquarters will be at the New Mckenny House, where a special 
rate of $2.25 per day has been secured. It is expected, also, that 
reduced rates will be obtained from the railroads in Maine. The 
region around Jackman has never been botanized, and it is hoped that 
many interesting specimens will be detected. The region offers 
exceptional facilities for the study of the woods, swamps, and lakes in 
the vicinity of the international boundary. Further information may 
be obtained from Dr. Ora W. Knight, 84 Forest Ave., Bangor, Maine.
