PINUS RESINOSA IN Norwoop, MassACHUSETTS.— Two or three 
years ago while riding on the Midland Division of the N. Y. N. H. & H. 
Railroad, I noticed from the car window a pine tree which seemed to 
be Pinus resinosa Ait. It stands apart from the other pines in a 
pasture between Ellis Station and Norwood, on the eastern side of 
the track. Although I saw the tree several times from the train, 
I was unable to identify it absolutely until this year, May 14, 1910.
