The Lily Pond, its shores and the abandoned lime quarries near 
yielded Linum catharticum, Daphne mezerium in fine fruit, several 
species of Potamogeton of unusual occurrence which have not yet been 
fully determined, Scirpus occidentalis, and Dirca palustris. 
Among the species collected at Isleboro were Dianthus plumarius, 
a large form of Deschampsia caespitosa, Galium labradoricum and Fra- 
garia virginiana, var. terrae-novae. 
The *Indian Garden" is a rich alluvial tract on the St. Georges 
river, where, according to tradition, the medicine man had his garden 
of herbs. In close proximity to this is a field from which innumerable 
arrow-heads and other relics have been taken. In this vicinity were 
seen several trees of Quercus macrocarpa, Potamogeton americanus, var. 
novaeboracensis (the first station east of the Connecticut), and a pro- 
- fusion of river-bottom plants growing in great luxuriance. 
The party visiting South Thomaston and Elwell Point collected 
Euphrasia Randii, var. Farlowii, Suaeda linearis, Distichlis spicata, 
Sparganium americanum and Glyceria laxa. 
Collections made during the four days added more than four hundred 
species from this locality to the Herbarium of the Portland Society 
of Natural History. 
On Thursday evening, August 14, Prof. Fernald gave a highly 
interesting and important talk on “The Coastal Plain Element in the 
Maine Flora." 
The other evenings were devoted to business meetings and to in- 
formal discussion of collections.— D. W. FELLows, Secretary.
