materially from the familiar Pitch Pine, though Mr. Bayard 

 Long, who visited the locality in 1909, was the first to identify 

 them. 



Almost simultaneously, Mr. O. H. Brown sent to the VvTiter 

 specimens from a tree at Town Bank, Cape May County, which 

 seemed to him tO' differ from Pinus rigida, and they also proved 

 to belong to the present species. Prior to this the Pond Pine 

 was not known to occur north of Virginia. It will doubtless be 

 found at other points in southwestern New Jersey. 



Dr. John K. Small, of the New York Botanic Garden, kindly 

 verified the identification of the Swedesboro trees.

The Old Field Pine was first discovered in New Jersey by 

 Mr. Gifford Pinchot, early in 1897, at Town Bank, Cape May 

 County. Later in the same year Dr. Arthur Hollick made an 

 unsuccessful effort to locaite Mr. Pinchot's tree, but discovered 

 another near Cold Spring School-house. Mr. O. H. Brown has 

 subsequently discovered several others in the sanie neighbor- 

 hood fromi which I have collected specimens.
