1917] Long,— Carex novae-angliae in Pennsylvania 99 
This is at Long Pond in Monroe County. Excellent specimens were 
obtained July 2, 1916. Mr. Pretz’s station lies at the foot of Long 
Pond near the outlet stream. He writes, in further detail: “The 
sedge was found on a slight rise in the strip of low ground lying be- 
tween the stream and the more elevated and drier plateau. Marshy 
ground lay within a few feet. The spot was comparatively free from 
underbrush, grassy, and lightly shaded. The plant grew in soft mats 
under a group of Pitch Pines, often quite near to the trunks.” 
These four stations all lie in the northern half of Pennsylvania 
over an approximately east and west line of about two hundred and 
thirty miles. Those at Pocono Lake and Long Pond are on the 
Pocono Plateau, within a comparatively short distance of each other, 
and in the same geographic area. That at Ganoga Lake lies some 
fifty miles west, in general, of the Pocono stations, well up on the 
main ridge of the Alleghanies. These localities are in the north- 
eastern part of the state but that at Corry is in the elevated portion 
of northwestern Pennsylvania. Although in three somewhat differ- 
ent areas, the stations all lie at altitudes of between one thousand and 
two thousand feet, where the flora shows a rather distinctive Canadian 
element. 
The nearest, previously known and formerly southernmost, stations 
for Carex novac-angliae, I learn from Prof. Fernald and Mr. Mackenzie, 
are in Norfolk, Connecticut ! (the northwestern corner of the state, 
in Litchfield County) and at East Windham, New York? (in the 
Catskills). The important record by Hoysradt of the plant on Little 
Stissing Mountain, near Pine Plains, Dutchess County, New York ê 
is in all probability quite correct. In his Catalogue he states that 
his Carices were critically examined by William Boott, and further- 
more this locality is not far distant from either the Norfolk or the East 
Windham stations. I am indebted to Prof. Fernald for verifying 
the Norfolk plant and to Mr. Mackenzie, the East Windham specimen. 
For more concise reference these new records for Carex novae- 
angliae may be briefly summarized.
