ring at Kensington, Connecticut, Cowles. But this Connecticut record seems 
never to have been confirmed as the species was excluded from the later and 
much more critically prepared Catalogue of the Flowering Plants and Ferns 
of Connecticut by Graves and others, page 425 (1910) — Ed. 
Pinus BANKSIANA ON NANTUCKET.— In line with recent discoveries 
of Hudsonian and subarctic plants on Cape Cod and Long Island, 
notably Rubus Chamaemorus on Long Island, and Elymus arenarius 
on Cape Cod, is the finding of the gray, or northern scrub-pine, Pinus 
Banksiana Lamb. at Wauwinet on the eastern shore of the Island of 
Nantucket, far removed from the nearest coastal stations for this tree 
on Penobscot Bay. As found by me on September 9, 1914, it grows 
near the bluff overlooking the sea in a rather exposed locality. Twenty 
trees, some badly wind-swept, and therefore, of a broad, spreading 
habit, were grouped together at the exposed northeastern edge of a 
natural thicket consisting of the usual shrubs and small trees of such 
thickets on Nantucket.— Jonn- W. HamsuHBERGER, University of

Vol. 16, no. 189, including pages 153 to 168 and a protrait plate, was issued
