Mountains. The identification of this species has been confirmed 
by Prof. Fernald. A. occidentalis has been collected twice but in one 
case the material is not thoroughly characteristic and in the other 
it consists of difficultly identifiable staminate plants. The county 
is rather definitely Alleghanian in its plant life, as has been shown 
through an intensive study of the flora for a number of years, and the 
occurrence of 4. canadensis, which Mr. Long in his article has shown to 
be of Canadian association, is hardly to be expected here unless it be 
found to occur as an isolated extension, as is apparently the case in 
the county with the above mentioned species. 
The Mauch Chunk region, however, contains a much more definite 
Canadian element in its plant associations. A. canadensis occurs 
there in at least three stations while careful search has not revealed 
its presence in Lehigh county. A. Parlinii, though, has been collected 
only at a single station near Mauch Chunk, and none has been noted 
in the mountain country explored to the northward, but its wide 
distribution in Lehigh county is known by a series of collections from 
the vicinity of the Kittatinny mountains in the extreme north to the 
upper Perkiomen Valley in the extreme southern portion. All this 
is rather suggestive of the correctness of Mr. Long's understanding 
of the life associations of these plants.
