ERAGROSTIS MEGASTACHYA (Koeler) Link, another species which, 
like the preceding, is apparently traveling northward on railroad 
filling and ballast, was collected by Miss Furbish at Brunswick in 
August, 1891. 
AGROPYRON PUNGENS (Pers.) R. & S., one of the least known of our 
American grasses, occurs on beaches or dry marshes from Pine Point 
to Cumberland and on Monhegan Island. It is probably somewhat 
general along the southern half of the Maine coast but is as yet known 
only from the points named and at stations on Cape Elizabeth at 
one of which it was first detected by Tuckerman in 1860. 
CYPERUS NUTTALLII Eddy. The northernmost station known to 
the writer is on the brackish marsh by Winnegance Creek, Phippsburg 
(Kate Furbish, September 14, 1907; Fernald & Wiegand, August 23, 
1909). See Ruopora, xii. 120 (1910). 
ELEOCHARIS OLIVACEA Torr., a comparatively rare species in Maine, 
occurs in tidal mud of the Androscoggin River at Brunswick (Kate 
Furbish, October, 1891; C. A. Davis, August 1, 1894). It also grows 
in brackish mud at Winnegance and may prove to be somewhat 
generally distributed throughout the region. 
ELEOCHARIS DIANDRA C. Wright. The station described by Dr. 
Charles A. Davis in Ruopora, iv. 2 (sand- and mud-banks of the 
Androscoggin, covered at high tide, Brunswick) is the only one yet 
known in the state. 
ELEOCHARIS ROSTELLATA Torr. The station (salt marsh along 
Winnegance Creek, Phippsburg) recorded in Ruopoma, xii. 120 
and 135 is the only one known in Maine. 
Scirpus Smiram Gray, var. serosus Fernald. Muddy bank of 
the Androscoggin River, Brunswick, August 1, 1894 (C. A. Davis), 
September 15, 1904 (Kate Furbish). The only Maine station known. 
SCIRPUS FLUVIATILIS (Torr. Gray. Winnegance Creek, Phipps- 
burg, September 14, 1907 (Kate Furbish), August 23, 1909 (Fernald & 
Wiegand). The only authenticated station in Maine. See RHODORA, 
xii. 120, 134 (1910). 
SCIRPUS CAMPESTRIS Britton, var. NOVAE-ANGLIAE (Britton) 
Fernald. Harding's, Brunswick, September 13, 1891 (Kate Furbish). 
CAREX AENEA Fernald. The southernmost Maine stations known 
to the writer are in dry woods at Southport (Fernald, July 31, 1894) 
and on cliffs at Christmas Cove, Bristol (J. R. Churchill, July 8, 1903). 
CAREX PRASINA Wahlenb., one of the rarer species of Maine, was 
collected at Brunswick by C. A. Davis in 1894.
