“The Primitive Flora,” “Sketch of the Explorations,” “ Statis - 
tics of the Catalogue,” “Explanation of the Plan of the Cata- 
logue,” and “The Disappearance of Species.” Two excellent 
maps—one of the lake region of Central New York, the other of 
Ithaca and vicinity—are prefixed, and an index to genera and 
species is appended. Full localities are given for all species 
listed; all forms mentioned, not recorded in Gray’s Manual, are 
described in full. Altogether we regard Professor Dudley’s 
work as one of the most useful and interesting local plant cat- 
alogues yet published.
