PREFACE. Vn 



reported from North Pomfret by Prof. A. P. Morgan; from Sharon by E. K. 

 Baxter, M. D. ; and from Union Village by Ferdinand Blanchard, M. D. ; 

 while Mt, Ascutney and the vicinity of Windsor were thoroughly explored by 

 George H. Leland. 



For the present edition it has been found necessary to rewrite and rearrange 

 a large part of the Flora to correspond with the changes in both classification 

 and nomenclature found in the last edition of the Manual referred to above. 

 As the work has been in progress, important aid has generously been furnished 

 by the author's numerous friends and correspondents in various parts of the 

 country — too numerous to be mentioned individually — and he would here 

 convey to them his hearty thanks. The students who year by year have been 

 connected with his classes have done their share also in bringing this Flora 

 to its present completeness. The names of very many of these contributors, 

 both correspondents and students, will be found in their appropriate places in 

 the following pages. 



The List of Vertebrate Animals found within the same district as the Flora, 

 originally given in the edition of 1882, was prepared by Prof. T. W. D. 

 Worthen, with the assistance of Prof. B. T. Blanpied and Prof. C. S. Cook, 

 and was intended for use with Jordan's Vertebrates of the Northern United 

 States as published in 18S0. 



The List here given has also been prepared by Prof. Worthen who has em- 

 bodied his own notes made since the previous edition was issued, as well as 

 some additional information* furnished by other naturalists, residents now or 

 of late in this vicinity, whose names are given in connection with the items 

 reported by them. To Prof. Worthen and to these gentlemen cordial thanks 

 are rendered. 



The classification adopted is that of the Fifth and Revised Edition of Jor- 

 dan's Vertebrates of 1 888, involving very many changes in both names and 

 general arrangement. The above book must therefore be consulted for full 

 descriptions. 



The accompanying map, contributed by the students, indicates clearly the 

 region represented by the Flora and Fauna. 



Additions and corrections are solicited, and will always be welcome.
