 Federal Capital Territory. Proc. Linnean Sec, New South Wales 43:073-711. PI. 71-74. 

 1918. — An area of about 900 square miles (latitude 35°-36° S.) is discussed. An account of 

 early explorations, geographical (map), climatological, and geological characteristics is given. 

 The absence of trees from the Camberra Plains is pointed out, and .soil analyses are given in 

 an attempt to explain this condition. Some peculiar insect attacks of trees were also noted. 

 A general discussion of the flora is given. Certain plants found nearby, but absent from this 

 district, largely as a result of climatic characteristics, are mentioned. A list of plants seen 

 (pages 701-709) is given subject to revision. This includes: Leguminosae, 43 species; Com- 

 positae, 42; and Myrtaceae, 34. A total of 361 native species were found, 65 per cent of which 

 are also indigenous to Tasmania. — Eloise Gerry.

1518. Flynn, Mrs. Nellie. A correction. Rhodora 22: 16. 1920. — In the report of the 

 trip of the Vermont Botanical Club (Rhodora 21: 191. 1919) Littorella uniflora was re- 

 ported as having been collected at "The Gut," South Hero, Vermont. This was an error, 

 the plant in question being Myriophyllum tenellum, which occurs occasionally in the state. — 

 James P. Poole.

1521. Johnston I. M. The flora of the pine belt of the San Antonio Mountains of southern 

 California. Plant World 22: 71-90, 105-122. 2 fig. 1919.— A description of the San Antonio 

 Mountains and their life zones is given, with lists of plants characterizing each zone. The 

 flora is presented as a catalogue by families, and contains the names of over 300 vascular plants, 

 with notes on the occurrence and distribution. — Charles A. Shull. 



1522. Long, Bayard. Jasione montana a conspicuous weed near Lakewood, New Jersey. 

 Rhodora 21: 105-108. 1919. — The writer gives an account of the discovery of about a dozen 

 distinct stations in the neighborhood of Lakewood, New Jersey, where this plant was found 

 growing abundantly in 1917. This species is well known about Newport, Rhode Island, espe- 

 cially on Connecticut Island; but elsewhere it has previously been noted as a very unusual 

 plant. In these newly established stations the characteristic habitats were open, sandy 

 areas generally associated with settlement and Cultivation. This plant has previously been 

 known largely as a ballast-ground waif, but in these stations seemed to be a thoroughly estab- 

 lished weed, and was reported by one farmer as having been frequent in the region for twenty- 

 five years. — James P. Poole. 



1523. Palmer, Ernest J. Texas Pteridophyta. III. Amer. Fern Jour. 9: 81-85. 1919.

 tributed among 11 genera with habitat and localities. — F. C. Anderson.
