with future work in the Alleghanies its occurrence in Pennsylvania 
will be established.” 
With some material sent to the Academy of Natural Sciences in 
Philadelphia in the autumn of 1913 was an Antennaria collected on 
May 4th. of that year along the road near the Behrens Farm situated 
on the plateau about 33 miles northeast of East Mauch Chunk, 
Pennsylvania. Mr. Bayard Long referred the plant, though imma- 
ture, to A. canadensis Greene, a determination that was later con- 
firmed by Prof. M. L. Fernald, who fortunately happened to visit the 
Academy at this time. 
This collection, though quite satisfactory as far as record was con- 
cerned, nevertheless made it highly desirable that more mature 
material be collected as well as that some data be secured relative 
to the local distribution of the plant. It was accordingly arranged 
that the following spring a joint trip by Mr. Long and the writer be 
made to the region of this collection. On May 16, 1914; Mr. Long 
visited the writer and on the morning of the 17th., in company with 
Messrs. E. S. and W. I. Mattern, the writer's companions in field 
work, a start was made for this region which lies about thirty miles 
distant to the northwest of Allentown, Pennsylvania. 
This plateau or mountain region is known as the Pohopoco Moun- 
tains, but it is really a part, or extension to the west and southwest, 
of the well known Pocono Plateau. The continuation of the plateau 
still further west across the “Gorge” of the Lehigh river is known 
as Broad Mountain. Botanically the entire plateau region offers a 
most interesting field, but it would be quite outside the scope of this 
note to make any further reference to it except to note that the im- 
mediate region of this collection is south of the Terminal Moraine 
and that the Canadian is not so strong an element in this association 
as in that of the typical Pocono region, which is so rich in species of 
general Canadian association. 
East Mauch Chunk lies along the Lehigh river practically against 
an escarpment of this general plateau region. It is built on a hill 
well above the level of the river. At the highest point in the town 
there are several open fields, and as Antennarias were the chief object 
of this excursion into the region a stop was made here. It took but a 
few minutes to discover A. canadensis in fair frequency in this field. 
It grew in isolated patches, or mats, and quite agreed in form and 
habit with the plant as Mr. Long knew it in its northern range.
