182 Rhodora [OCTOBER 
It seemed best to have as the backbone of our first report a pre- 
liminary list such as Ruopora readers are already familiar with. 
The notes following are much fuller than those with previous lists. 
A careful reading of these will show much in regard to floral areas, and 
also much about areas which are not represented by specimens. In 
this report on Ranunculaceae there are many gaps, but the committee 
thought best to publish, so that New England botanists may come 
to our assistance even more fully than they have yet done. Any 
error or omission may be reported to any member of the committee.
