While working on a botanical survey of the Wisconsin river 
valley, Mr. F. ÿ. Heald and I collected between eight and 
nine hundred fruiting specimens in ‘*Witches” Gulch,” near 
Kilbourn City, Wisconsin, in the latter part of July of the … 
present year. Mat es LATE 
Among the capsules are many one year old at least, while it 
is quite possible that some of them are older. This would 
indicate that the difficuliy experienced in finding fruiting 
material is due chiefly to rarity of fructification and not to the 
_disappearance of fruiting parts soon after maturity. The cap- 
sules probably matured in July. Part of the material collected 
by Mrs. Britton in the early part of os is immature. The 
capsules collected this sammer are, with scarcely an excep- 
tion, mature, many of them having already dehisced. An exam- 
_ination of the capsules shows the entire absence of peristome 
and annulus.— L. S. CRENEY, University of Wisconsin,
