S!16 BOTANICAL GAZETTE. 



waste-grounds a longer list of plants than Brown University. On 

 the 19th of September, in a rapid inspection of the campus, I 

 recorded 118 species, representing -11 natural orders. As often 

 happens in such localities, tliere was an odd jumble of garden and 

 wild plants. I have no idea tliat I exhausted the list, which, it must 

 be remembered also, represents but one season. — W. W. Bailey. 



Miscellaneous Notes. — On Monday, October 6th, I i'ound on the 

 college campus Cornus panic ulata^ VHer, simultaneously in fruit and 

 flower. Viola pedata is having a second period of blossoming, and a 

 friend in Vermont Avrites me that as late as October 1st she gathered 

 Hepaticas in Hower. 



Mrs. Kilburn, of Lonsdale, R. I., sent me the Leptopoda hraehypteva, 

 Torr. and Gray, from Lincoln, R. L I visited tiie locality and found 

 the plant abundant and spreading. The original owner of the estate, 

 called Qiiinsnickett, introduced many things in the neighborhood, 

 which are now well established, and perhaps this. Almost at the 

 same time, Mr. J. L. Bennett found Holeaiurii autumnale, L., in the 

 same town. It is convenient to have a locality for these plants with- 

 in easy reach. — W. W. Bailey, Broiun University.

Decaying wood. Sheboygan, Wisconsin. Jul}^ /. /. Broivn. 



This pretty species is related to A. vehdipes, from which it differs 

 in its more scattered mode of growth, more slender stem, and differ- 

 ent spores. Its pileus also is not viscid and shrivels less in drying. 



Bovista subterranea. — Subgregarious, immersed in the soil; per- 

 idium subglobose, about one inch in diameter, the exterior whitish, 

 covered by dense mycelioid filaments and adhering dirt, at length 

 separable from the smooth flexible interior peridium ; capillitium and 

 spores brown, the fiocci long, slender, flexuous, simple or sparingly 

 branched, the spores globose, rough, .00025 — .0003 of an inch in di- 

 ameter.
