the sterile frond is four inches long, with a terminal pinna, and four 
pinn^ on each side, opposite to each other. The pair next to the 
lowest measures an inch and a half from tip to tip ; but the lowest 
pinnse are each 1.75 inch long, making the pair measure 3.5 inches. 
All but these are at right angles to the rachis, but the lowest pair pro- 
jects forward so as to form a V which encloses two-thirds of the 
upper part of the frond. They are fully an inch from the junction 
of the rachis with the stipe. The fertile frond is divided into three 
main branches, each of which is decompound and about three 
inches long. ""The entire plant is twelve inches high. It came from 
the same locality that I have described above. 
I have also to report the presence, at a roadside in the town of 
Deerfield, Oneida Co., N. Y., of a considerable amount of Trifo- 
^lium stoloniferum, Muhl, which is scattered along for half a mile or 
more. How it came there I have not been able to learn, and I can 
find no record of its occurrence elsewhere in this State. The street 
is two or three miles from the N. Y. Central Railroad, and, although 
it is an old one, as is indicated by an occasional Lombardy poplar, 
it is not much travelled save by the residents. Under such circum- 
stances the plant would hardly be apt to come in of itself as a strag- 
gling inmiigrant. Possibly it may have come whh cattle brought from 
llie west.

Lonicera grata.— A year ago I sent a line to the Bulletin ask- 
ing for information about Lonicera grata in its indigenous habitats. 
Not having obtained much satisfaction, I renev%^ the inquiry. Does 
any botanist now know of this plant in the " Cedar Swamps of New 
Durham/' or in Darlington's habitats on '* Ridley Creek," and on 
'* the Brandywine above the Forks." As to Dr. Torrey's plant, he 
says he had not seen it in flower, and the specimen in his herbarium

The Range of Phoradendron — Mr. J. Schneck's interesting 
notes on Phoradendron^ its habit and range, in the Botanical Gazette 
for June and July, lead me to record the probability that its north- 
ward extension along the Atlantic coast was formerly greater than 
at present. Its most northern stations in the immediate vicinity of 
the coast at present known, is at Lakewood, N. J. (W. Bower, A. C. 
Apgar). The station noted by Mr. Canby, between Trenton and New 
Brunswick, is probably a few miles further north. In 1S79, whi e 
preparing the Flora of Richmond Co., N. Y., with Mr. Arthur Hoi-. 
borhood by Mr. R. S. Newbury, of New York, where he had seen 
the plant in former years. The Nyssa was there— several very oia, 
decaying trees — but no Phoradendron.
