on Gardiner's Island. Amarantus viridis^ L,, grows quite plentifully 

 in the door yards of East Hampton. Tripsacum daclyloides, L., I 

 have found very sparingly at Wading River. On the shore of Fort 

 Pond Bay, Dr. T. F. Allen found Glaucium luteum^ T^., very abundant 

 in 1878. I found, the same summer, on the Point, Polygala sangui- 

 nea^ L., and Limosella aquatica^ L., var. tenuifolia^ Hoffman. Last 

 summer I found Rumex maritimus on the eastern shore of Great 

 Pond, Montauk Point. Cystopteris fragilis^ Bernh., I found in a deep 

 ravine facing the Sound, near Wading River ; also in an old well, at 

 Rocky Point, a few miles west of here. Spiranthes graminea^ Lindl., 

 var Walteri^ Gray, East Hampton to Montauk, also at Wading River. 

 Spif'anthes swtplex^ Gray, grows plentifully in and around Wading 

 Riven Potamogeton grammeus^ L., \^r grafmmf alius ^ at River Head, 

 Fycnanthenum lanceolatum^ Pursh., Rocky Point. Vaccinium Oxy- 

 coccus, L., Wading River. Aster nemoralis, Ait., between River 

 Head and Canoe Place. Desmodium Canadense^ DC,, Greenport and

 and Phryma leptostachya, L., on Gardiner's Island. I found Blitum

Gardiner's Island is a very interesting locality for botanizing. 

 The Island contains 3,000 acres, and is composed of a fine large 

 farm, large grazing tracts, salt marshes, streams of water, and about 

 150 acres of woodland. I was very happy to accept the kind invita- 

 tion of Mr. J. T. Gardiner to visit the Island. My time was so short 

 that I had but little chance to botanize thoroughly. I hope to be 

 able to visit the Island at another season, when I think I can find 

 more plants new to our County. 



. Epigaea repens^ L., fruited very freely this last summer and ma- 

 tured seed in abundance- I also found this fall a great many very 



small seedlings.

12. Juncus maritimus, Lam., a European Rush, was found 

 on Coney Island some years ago by Mr. C. H. Peck. At the sug- 

 gestion of Dr. Engelmann, I went, Aug. 2nd, to the locality on the 

 Island indicated by Mr. Peck, to whom I had written for informa- 

 tion, having in view the verification of the original discovery. I 

 found the plant still growing where it was first collected, although in 

 limited quantity. It is apparently indigenous, as there seems no 

 evident manner in which it could have been introduced into such 

 a situation. 



It grows, as Mr. Peck writes: "Near the western end of the 

 Island, just over the sand ridges, on the inner shore." I found it 

 just at the junction of the salt meadows and the sand hills, about 

 half way between the tower at '* Cables," and Coney Island Point. 



Dr. Engelmann writes that the plant is certainly J, 7naritimus 

 Lam. and not J, Poe??ienanuSy as was originally reported in the Bul- 

 letin. 



Carex extefjsa. Good, originally found on Coney Island by Dr. 

 T. F. Allen, still exists, growing near the /uncus. N* L. B .
