fruit, known as Hog Cranberry, is often gathered for household pur- 
poses. In 1904 a small quantity was found on Rackliff's Island, 
about a mile distant. Since the berries are freely eaten by "soft 
billed birds," and the seeds pass through the alimentary canals of this 
(arbitrarily limited) group of birds unbroken, this station which I have 
reason to believe to be of rather recent origin is no doubt to be attri- 
buted to this agency. Specimens at hand from these stations belong 
to the type of the species.

Fuller, 1876. These last stations have long been known, but perhaps 
have not been published. Coastal stations east of Gouldsborough 
and west of Harpswell would be of especial interest. 
KALMIA LATIFOLIA L. Though for many years known to botanists 
to occur at Great Island, Casco Bay, the fact seems not to have been 
published until 1911.? What seems to be a forgotten station at 
Cherryfield, was published by Dr. Aaron Young, Jr., in 1843." In the 
paper cited Dr. Young gave a very full account of a visit to the bed of 
Rhododendron maximum L. at Standish, and thereby had brought to 
his attention the plant at Cherryfield, supposed by his correspondent 
to be that species. Specimens were sent him, and proved to be Kal- 
mia latifolia, of which he gave an extended account. It is extremely 
gratifying to find a Cherryfield specimen from Dr. Young, well pre- 
served in the Parker Cleaveland herbarium, at Bowdoin College.

near Crumple Island, Jonesport, Aug. 4, 1904, by the writer. The
