FURTHER NOTES ON THE PLANTS oF Iste AU HauT.—The following 
plants, collected on Isle au Haut, Knox County, Maine, during the 
past two years, deserve record. Let me acknowledge my indebtedness 
to Prof. Fernald for their determination, and for note and comment 
on their distribution, the “quotes” being all his. 
Rubus onanivs Blanchard “heretofore known from York County, 
Me., and from Cape Cod, Mass." [Rnopona, xxiii. 268, where it is 
recorded from Digby County, Nova Scotia.] 
Rubus ARCUANS Fernald € St. John, Proc. Bost. Soc. Nat. Hist. 
xxxvi. 78, fig. 7 (1921). To this original record Prof. Fernald [Rno- 
DORA, xxiii. 272] has added other stations in Nova Scotia, and now 
on my specimen his comment is “ first between Nova Scotia and Cape 
Cod." 
Rubus MULTISPINUS Blanchard. “First northeast of Plymouth 
Co., Mass.” [For description see Torreya, vii. 7 (1907).] 
ILEX GLABRA (L.) Gray. “First between Cape Ann and Nova 
Scotia." This grows in considerable quantity, fifty plants or more, 
in a swamp near the long pond. 
BARTONIA VIRGINICA (L.) BSP. [Recorded from Mt. Desert in 
Rand & Redfield’s Flora, p. 130.] I found only two plants in a moist 
cleft of rock on a lesser hill.
