Schuette Hawthorns of Northeastern Wisconsin. 93 



Since the nomenclature of Crataegus seems to be somewhat 

 unsettled, I have employed the familiar names while embodying 

 my own views in the following descriptions. A series of speci 

 mens, including the types of the new forms, has been presented 

 to the Biological Society of Washington, and by the latter 

 turned over to the United States National Museum.
