that species and varying but very little which is rare in a rubus, but 
it deserves to be kept distinct for what is perhaps the most im- 
portant reason for recording a species — it is widely distributed. 
In 1909, I found it in New Brunswick at St. Stephen near Calais, 
Maine, at Ingleside and Great Bay near St. John, and at Moncton 
and Painsec Junction thus crossing the province. In Nova Scotia 
I collected it around Yarmouth and it was very common (for black- 
berries) in the Annapolis Valley — at Digby, Middleton, Bridgetown 
and Kentville, and occurred in two places in Pictou. I now offer for a 
name 
Rubus amicalis nov. nom. R. amabilis Blanchard, RHODORA

A CORRECTION REGARDING ProFESSOR PENHALLOW.— In my 
sketch of David Pearce Penhallow in Ruopora for January, 1911, 
I inadvertently omitted to insert the word Agricultural after the word 
Amherst in the 2d line of the last paragraph on page 2. Dr. Penhallow 
was graduated at the Massachusetts Agricultural College, not at 
Amherst College, both of which institutions are in Amherst, Massa- 
chusetts.— WALTER DEANE, Cambridge, Massachusetts. 
Vol. 13, no. 146, including pages 17 to 36, was issued 12 February, 1911.
