A Question for Teachers. How far shall we yield to the in- 
cursions of the new Latin and Greek pronunciations? For along 
time I have held conservative ground as regards botanical names, 
but now I am forced by circumstances to partly adopt the hetero- 
-dox modern notions. When my students speak of ‘ Rahnoon- 
kulahkeei” and “‘Istivation” (I spell the words phonetically) I 
now, with some mental effort, recognize a family of plants and 
a condition of the bud. Not without a shudder, however, do I 
respond in kind, still, I am convinced we must come to it, and we 
had better yield gracefully; at least there should be uniformity 
between teacher and pupil.

Notes from Long Island. The following plants have been 
found by me growing without cultivation, though some have un- 
doubtedly recently escaped, and are not permanent.

nis, Hieracium aurantiacum, which I also found common in
