1910] Graves,— Woody Plants of Brooklin, Me. 175 
contains a number of interesting bogs interspersed with stretches of 
coniferous forests. This region I have designated the “Central 
Tract.” 
To the west and north of this tract are situated the settlements 
of West Brooklin and North Brooklin, while immediately south lies 
the most thickly settled part of the town, known as Brooklin Center. 
Further to the south the land is divided by Herrick Bay into two 
peninsulas, called Naskeag Point on the west, and Flye Point on the 
east. These two peninsulas, as well as the other land not included in 
the Central Tract, are for the most part thickly wooded, mainly with 
coniferous species, and often down to the water’s edge. They con- 
tain, here and there, short stretches of bog. 
Specimens of all plants collected are preserved and deposited in the 
Eaton Herbarium of Yale University. The nomenclature used in 
the list is that of the seventh edition of Gray’s Manual of Botany. 
In the preparation of the list I am indebted to the following for 
their kind assistance: Professor M. L. Fernald, Professor N. L. 
Britton, Mr. W. H. Blanchard, and Dr. George N. Best. I desire to 
thank also Mr. E. L. Rand and Professor A. W. Evans for their val- 
uable suggestions and criticism. 
Since the region studied is so near to the island of Mt. Desert, 
about five miles distant, it has seemed to me that a comparison of 
the woody plants recorded for Mt. Desert in Rand and Redfield's 
Flora, with those in my list would be interesting. Of the 100 species 
and varieties collected in Brooklin, thirteen are not recorded in the 
Flora of Mt. Desert. "They are as follows: 
1. Picea rubra (DuRoi) Dietr. This species was not distinguished 
in the sixth edition of Gray's Manual, to which Rand and Redfield's 
Flora conforms, it being included under Picea nigra Link. Mr. 
Rand informs me that it is common on Mt. Desert Island. 
2. Salix nigra Marsh. Only one tree of this was observed, near 
Brooklin Center, but this was apparently native. 
3. Salix alba L. var. vitellina (L.) Koch. 
4. Populus alba L. Several trees have sprung up at Brooklin 
Center, evidently descendants of much older trees which are planted 
out nearby. 
5. Populus candicans Ait. 
6. Alnus mollis Fernald. Included in the Alnus viridis (Chaix.) 
DC. of the Mt. Desert Flora, according to statement by Mr. Rand.
