of Quercus Muhlenbergii, var. humilis, and Betula lenta. A good- 
sized tree of Pyrus nigra was looked for, but absence of fruit and 
the lateness of the hour prevented us from making a thorough 
search. This tree, observed in 1890, is twenty or twenty-five feet 
high, and worthy of being included in Prof. Sargent’s Silva. A 
hurried tramp through the woods added Pyrola secunda, P. elliptica, 
and what is probably P. udiginosa, and fine specimens of Asplenium 
platyneuron. 
Altogether, 156 species were observed, with 82 on the list of 
actual collection. Many more might have been added, but lack 
of time prevented. As far as I have been able to learn, no other 
persons have botanized in this portion of the county, or, indeed, 
in any other part, unless in the extreme northeastern end about 
Pittston. Thorough exploration of other portions will un- 
doubtedly yield a rich and interesting flora. On the right bank of 
the river, scattered about in the Catskill formation, are six or eight 
small lakes, and one larger one called Harvey’s Lake. Some five 
or six miles east of Long Pond are two lakes, known locally as Mud | 
Pond and Three-Cornered Pond, and about ten miles east of these, 
not far from the Lehigh Valley Railroad, is a nameless lake, the lar- 
gest in the county. Just east of this lake is an elevated section of 
Pocono sandstone, which must have a flora very similar to that of 
the Pocono, as it is merely a western extension of that interesting 
region. 
The total number of species collected in the county thus far is 
325, about one-fifth of the number that ought to be found.
