Plants of Monroe County, New York, and adjacent Territory — 
Many catalogues of American local floras have been published. 
Among the regions most thoroughly explored is that of central 
and western New York. The number and character of the stu 
dents who, first and last, have done field work within its in 
would warrant this conclusion without taking into consideration 
their published results. Gray, Torrey, Vasey, Knieskern, eee 
Sartwell, Paine, Wright, Day, Dudley and others have publishe 
papers, while many others have assisted in collecting information. 
The recent publication, by the Rochester Academy of Science, 
of a catalogue of “Plants of Monroe County, New York, ee 
Adjacent Territory,”* adds a large amount to our knowledge © 
the plants of this region. The catalogue is something more than 
a list, as may be seen by the table of contents.
