LARGE CORALROOT 



Corallorrhiza maculata Raf. 



Often seen in the hardwood ridges in New Sweden, Wood- 

 land and Perham. Flowers in June and July. 



SMALL CORALROOT 



Corallorrhiza trifida Chatelain 



Habitat in low, wet places. Flowers in last week of May 

 to July. This is a very peculiar plant as it appears in pro- 

 fusion some years and then for several years I am not able 

 to find any. In the month of June, 1918, they were very 

 common on the hills in Perham and New Sweden. 



"I am much interested in the literature you sent me and 

 am glad to become a member of the Knox Academy. I can- 

 not attend the field meeting this year, but hope to do so 

 some other summer. I trust that in your campaign for mem- 

 bers you have not neglected the great army of summer resi- 

 dents, many of whom love the Maine woods and shores as 

 much as those who are fortunate enough to be 'Mainiacs' 

 all the year round. I notice that few of them can help catch- 

 ing the infection of nature study."

"I beg to acknowledge with many thanks the receipt of a 

 copy of Vol. 1, No. 1 of the Maine Naturalist. May we not 

 extend to you most hearty congratulations on the appear- 

 ance and substantial and interesting character of the first 

 number of this new serial. This is a difficult time in the 

 world's history to launch a new publication on account of the 

 high cost of paper and printing, and your first number cer- 

 tainly gives evidence of a very lively and vigorous organiza- 

 tion back of it."
