ARENARIA CAROLINIANA IN RHODE IsLAND.— Several plants of 
Arenaria caroliniana Walt. were found by the writer in the salt-marsh 
back of the sand-dunes at Weekapaug, Rhode Island, Sept. 1, 1912. 
They were growing on a slightly elevated, but dry, spot in the meadow 
and were confined to the one locality. Some of them were still in 
blossom on the 22nd of the month. 
Through the kindness of Prof. Fernald, I am enabled to give the 
previously printed records (under the synonymous name Arenaria 
squarrosa) of this plant for New England, as follows: 
“ Arenaria squarrosa Michx. Torrey & Gray, i, 179. 
In Block Island, Dr. Robbins, Sept., 1829." 
Oakes in Hovey's Magazine, xiii, 218 (1847). 
* Arenaria squarrosa Mchx., Robbins, 1829. 
S. T. O." (Stephen T. Olney) in note on the rare plants of 
Block Island, in Bulletin Torrey Botanical Club, v, 38 (1874). 
The above records seem to have been overlooked by all the manual- 
makers. 
Specimens from Weekapaug have been placed in the Herbarium of 
the New England Botanical Club.— Jonn H. Sace, Portland, Con- 
necticut.
