Stand- 



A systematic account of all 

 the phanerogams and vascular 

 ci-yptogams known to occur in 

 the State, accompanied by keys 

 to the families, genera, and spe- 

 cies. Notes upon habitat, 

 range, and local distribution are 

 included, as well as a citation 

 of the type locality of each spe- 

 cies. There are listed 2903 spe- 

 cies, distributed among 848 gen- 

 era. The volume contains also 

 a geographic index of all the 

 localities mentioned in the text.

in meteorites, and on oldhamite as a 

 meteoric constituent. 



Proc. Nat. Acad. 8ci.,

 302-308, figs. 1-5. 

 Shows that the monticellite- 

 like mineral of German and 

 other writers is in part at 

 least a phosphate ; also that 

 the sulphide of calcium, old- 

 hamite, is apparently a much 

 more common constituent than 

 is generally supposed.
