inflorescence, and this was accounted for by the fact that the 
marauding Humble-bee is the most frequent visitor in June, while 
in July a species of Megachile visited the flowers in a normal way. 
Rev. Thomas Morong asked for observations on the distribu- 
tion of ‘7; yeha, stating that 7. angustifolia seems to be confined 
to brackish waters, whereas 7: /atifolia is more abundant inland. 
On Nantucket nine-tenths of the cat-tails are 7. angustifolia. 
He also asked botanists to collect and pay more attention to the 
characters which distinguish the two species. He also called for 
more careful study of Sparganium. 
David F. Day stated that Judge Clinton had collected Typha 
angustifolia near Buffalo, and that double fertile spikes are not 
uncommon in 7. /atifolia. 
Sereno Watson said that Aradis petrea must be dropped 
from the manuals as it has been found to be Sisyribrium humile, 
Meyer. It occurs at Willoughby Notch, Canada, and the White 
Mountains, and may be looked for in the Adirondacks. 
Dr. Mary B. Moody exhibited specimens of Epipactis latifolia, 
and read a paper giving the circumstances of its discovery near 
Buffalo, stating that a station has been recently found where it 
grows in great abundance, which, if not wantonly destroyed, ‘is 
capable of supplying all the Herbaria with specimens. 
F. Lamson Scribner remarked on the abundance of Cercospora 
Viticola (Grephium thelysporium) near Fayetteville, N. C., on 
the foliage of the grape vine, producing reddish-brown spots on 
both sides of the leaves. He also showed packets of fungi, ex- 
plaining the method of labeling, mounting and arranging in vogue 
at the Department of Agriculture. Classification is by the host 
plant, arranged in packets uniform in size and labeling, mounted 
with one species only on a sheet, species alphabetically arranged 
under genera. __
