O/iyx vin^iniiina, (Linn.), B|).— Hob-White; American Quail. — Form- 

 erly very numerous. 'Hiey were found in considerable (juantities up to 

 the winter of 1878-9. The severe weather of that year destroyed many 

 covies ; since that time they have not increased much, if any in numbers. 



It is \ery unsatisfactory to me, in studying the faunal changes of a 

 locality, to find but a few notes in some local list of species. Thinking 

 others may have found the same difficulty which I have encountered, I 

 present above a compilation of my notes ujjon this subject. There is 

 much more which I might include in this jjaper, but I have i>referred to 

 leave this with my notes on the other orders of our local fauna for a 

 future article. 



THE FLORA OF FRANKLIN COUNTY -EXOGENS. 



Bv O. M. Mevncke. 



The following list embraces the indigenous, naturalized, and adven- 

 tive plants growing in FVanklin County, Indiana. The list is more espec- 

 ially confined to the territory within the immediate vicinity of the Town of 

 Brook ville. 



The author set out with the determination to exclude all from the list 

 which he himself had not seen growing in the County. Hence some 

 species whose existence here was supported by good authority, and which 

 fact the author was reasonably certain, were. omitted on the principle that 

 it is much easier afterwards to add to the list than to take from it. 

 Though he has botanized in the region for several years, he feels sure that 

 there are a number of plants growing in the limits which have not been 

 noticed. With the exception of a partial list of the trees reported by Dr. 

 Rufus Haymond (1869) in making the observations of the local Flora no 

 sujjport has been derived from a i)redecessor in this branch of natural 

 history. 



Observations on the Flora of this County are reserved for a future 

 number of the Bulletin of the lirookville Society of Natural History. 



As far as the Order Caprifoliaceae the nomenclature and arrangement 

 « oiresj)onds with that of Watson's Bibliographical Index to North American 

 Botany, thereafter with that given in the latest edition of (iray's Manual 

 of the Northern United States.
