A Few Additions to the Hepatic Flora of the Manual Region. 
It goes without saying that we have very little definite infor- 
mation regarding the exact range of any plant, and this is doubly 
true of any of the lower cryptogams, and especially those in which 
the interest is purely scientific rather than economic. It is fair 
to say that we do not know the extent of the geographic distri- 
bution of even the most common species of Hepatics. Every new 
collector in States hitherto unexplored (and there are still States 
from which not a single hepatic has been picked) extends the 
known range of one or more species, and it will be years before 
we shall be able to form a just conception of the distribution of our 
Hepaticze, 
We note here the addition of a few species to the area of the 
6th edition of Gray’s Manual. It is more than likely that others 
still will be found, especially along our northern borders and in 
the mountain regions. 
1. Lejeunea Austini, Lindb. Growing at the bases of trees at 
Kirkville, Onandaga County, N. Y. It belongs to the section 
Eu-Lejeunea, and can be recognized easily by its shining golden 
Steen tufts. Its previously known range extended from South 
Carolina to Louisiana. : 
2. Diplophyllum Dicksoni (Hook.) Dumort, has been sent in 
from Northern Minnesota (F. F. Wood), and from Mt. Desert, 
Maine (Rand); outside our limits it has also been nent from New- 
foundland (Waghorne). Its previous range in this country in- 
cluded only California, where it was once collected by Bolander.
