Mr. a. J. PiETERS, Assistant Botanist in the U. S. Dept. of 

 Agrictihtire, has written an interesting and useftil article^^' on the 

 plants of \ve.stern Lake Erie. This report shotild be read by all 

 who are interested in the hydrophytes of Ohio, or in the flora 

 and fauna of Lake Erie. In addition to .some introductory 

 remarks, the paper treats of the plants in Put-in-Bay, in Squaw 

 Harbor, near Gibraltar Lsland, in Hatchery Bay and in the ojien 

 lake, and the plants of East Harbor. The swamp vegetation is 

 also discttssed, inchiding the plants in the Portage River swamps 

 and in the swamps abottt Sandusky Bay. The ecological condi- 

 tions and the ecological adaptations of the flora are treated quite 

 fully, and at the end are given alphabetical lists of the plants 

 sttidied, including angiosperms, stoueworts and desmids.
