40 Rhodora [FEBRUARY 
July 5, 1917, in Griswold, Connecticut." This, too, proves to be A. 
Menziesii (Lehm.) Nels. & Macbr. This species is a native of Van- 
couver Island and western United States, and has been found as an 
introduction in Missouri and Illinois, which is a stepping stone to 
New England. 
There have been now recorded for New England A. barbata Greene, 
A. Menziesii (Lehm.) Nels. & Macbr., A. arenaria Suksd. and A. 
intactilis Macbr. In addition to these mention may be made of two 
other species, A. spectabilis F. & M. and A. intermedia F. & M. (Mac- 
bride, l. c.) which have not been investigated as there are apparently 
no specimens in existence. "The above records bear out the statement 
made by Mr. Macbride in Ruopora cited above that “other 
species that are essentially weedy in character in their native 
habitats...are to be expected in the eastern States."

CAREX FLAVA, VAR. GASPENSIS IN VERMONT.— Carex flava L., var. 
gaspensis Fernald, Rnopona, viii. 200 (1906), originally described from 
the limestone valleys of the Gaspé Peninsula, was found by Fernald 
& Wiegand in 1909 in eastern Aroostook County, Maine, and in 
1910 in the limestone valleys of western Newfoundland. It is, there- 
fore, interesting to find a characteristic sheet of this variety in the 
herbarium of the late Dr. George G. Kennedy, collected at Second 
Bog, Willoughby, Vermont, September 4, 1896. This is appar- 
ently the first record of the variety, which is distinguished by the 
slender subulate perigynia, from Vermont.— M. L. FERNALD, Gray 
Herbarium. 
Vol. 21, no. 241, including pages 1 to 24, was issued 10 February, 1919.
