southwest of Mt. Desert. The determination was made at the Gray Herbarium by Professor 

 Fernald. The range of this variety as previously published has been Newfoundland to British 

 Columbia, south to northern New Brunswick, northern Maine, northern Michigan, Utah, 

 and Washington. This new station is the first south of Aroostook Valley. — James P. Poole. 



968. Knowlton, C. H., W. S. Ripley, Jr., and C. A. Weatherby. Second report of the 

 Committee on Floral Areas. Rhodora 22: 80-89. 1920. — This report covers the Polypodi- 

 aceae, Schizaeaceae, and Osmundaceae and is published as a part of the "Preliminary Lists 

 of New England Plants." In addition to giving the distribution of the plants by states, 

 the article gives considerable information as to their distribution according to ecological 

 and soil classifications. — James P. Poole. 



969. Long, Bayard. Regarding Gentiana Andrewsii in the coastal plain of New Jersey. 

 Rhodora 22: 104-110. 1920. — The author finds that earlier records of the occurrence of this 

 species in the region referred to were apparently due to errors in the determination of species 

 and that in reality it is one of the rarest of plants in the Coastal Plain region. The evidence 

 also seems to lead to the logical conclusion that the few stations reported within the region 

 are extensions of the Piedmont region. — James P. Poole. 



970. Long, C. A. E. Some noteworthy Matinicus plants. Rhodora 22: 110-111. 1920.—

 1919. Canadian Field-Nat. 34: 44-47. 1920.— The habit and habitat of 12 species of orchids

973. Nelson, James C. Additions to the flora of western Oregon during 1919. Torreya 

 20: 37-45. 1920. — Indigenous species not mentioned in Piper & Beattie's Flora of the North- 

 west Coast are found within the limits of that manual in 3 regions of western Oregon: (1) 

 Along the Calapooia Range, (2) along the Cascades in the Mt. Jefferson region, and (3) along 

 the lower course of the Columbia. In addition to these, the number of naturalized exotic 

 species is constantly increasing. A list is given of 90 species collected in western Oregon 

 during the season of 1919, none of which is mentioned in the Flora of the Northwest Coast; 

 54 of these are foreign. Of the indigenous species, 7 are from the Calapooias, 12 from Mt. 

 Jefferson, and 5 from the lower Columbia. To the 1617 species of the Flora of the North- 

 west Coast, 309 have now been added. Previous lists have appeared in Torreya IS: 21-35, 

 220-226.—/. C. Nelson.

 State. Eleven species of Quercus are now known to occur in Nebraska. — /. C. Nelson.
