are often of value and interest. Thus, in regard to Gaylussacta 
resinosa ; “ A white variety of this species is occasionally brought 
from neighboring towns for sale, but in small quantities. A small 
tract of land in Berkley, about fifty feet square, has borne an) 
annual crop of perhaps a quart of white huckleberries for forty 
years or more. A few bushes bearing the ordinary black huckle- 
berry are interspersed with those bearing the white variety. 
The white variety has also been found in East Fairhaven.” In 
the catalogue proper the cultivated plants are omitted, and the 
number enumerated, including Hepatic, Musci and Pterido- 
phyta, is 1228. The author tells us that the favorite color

“ the percentage of each color, as to number of species, is as 
follows: white, thirty-three ; yellow, including orange, thirty- 
three ; red and blue purples, fifteen ; red, including crimson, 
scarlet and rose, twelve ; blue, seven.”’ The nomenclature is

The scope of this article is comprehensive, and, like all of the 
author’s contributions to science, bears the impress of conscien- 
tious and careful work. The meteorology and physiography of 
the region are first described, after which the trees and shrubs 
are mentioned, and then follow lists of the herbaceous plants, 
under the headings ‘‘ Northern Species Extending to the Basin
