Publications of the Ohio Biological Survey. 



The writer has before him two botanical bulletins of great 

 interest as relating to the flora and vegetation of Ohio. The 

 biilletins are 2 and 3 of the Ohio Biological Survey. 



Bulletin 2, a "Catalog of Ohio Vascular Plants," by Prof. 

 J. H. Schaffner, is a well-printed pamphlet of 120 pages, con- 

 taining entries for 2065 species and a number of varieties and 

 hybrids. The State Herbariiun has been taken as the basis for 

 the citation of species, although certain other reliable sources 

 have been drawn upon. The Hst is a conservative one, quite 

 a large niimber of species noted in former lists having been dropped, 

 a thorough investigation having failed to show their occurrence 

 in the state. The method of entry for such species is: Serial 

 nimiber, scientific name, common name, and distribution by 

 counties. If the distribution is general the names of the counties 

 are omitted, the occurrence being indicated as "General, " "Rather 

 general," etc.
