From the report of the Field Committee the following locali- 
ties for rarer plants are taken: Near Little Ferry, N. J., a 
Hlabenaria, intermediate in appearance between 7. cé/iaris and 
H.. blephariglottis, having lemon-yellow flowers; at Metuchen, 
N. J., Bidens chrysanthemoides, with tubular ray-flowers. . The 
excursion to Swimming River, N. J., in search of Limnobium 
Spongia, reported by Dr. Knieskern in his Catalogue of the 
Plants of Ocean and Monmouth Counties, published in 1857, 
failed of its object.

Schrenk remarked that he had collected the cones of this tree in 
Prince’s Garden, Flushing, L. I. Dr. O. R. Willis exhibited 
specimens of Erica cinerea, E. Tetralix and Calluna vulgaris 
from Nantucket, and Prof. Day reported the last as naturalized 
in the Park at Halifax, N. S. Judge Addison Brown distributed.
