t We can find no New Jersey specimens of /. viarifinius or /. roemerianus, 

 and their inclusion in the New Jersey flora seems to rest wholly upon a state- 

 ment of Pursh (Fl. Amer. Sept. L 235. 1814). He gives "Juncus acutus 

 on the sandy seacoast New Jersey, &c."' Li the first edition of Gray's Manual 

 this record is quoted under Juncus niaritiniiis, while in the fifth edition and 

 earlier in Trans. St. Louis Acad. H. 439, 1866, Engelmann shows that the /. 

 maritimus of American authors is really /. roemerianus, which he continues 

 to cite from New Jerse)^ Prof. M. L. Fernald, who corroborates the above, 

 also calls my attention to this statement by Englemann (Trans. St. Louis 

 Acad. n. 490)— "The New Jersey locaHty rests on the doubtful authority of 

 Pursh ; I have seen no specimens collected farther north than Wilmington, 

 N. C." As no one has found it in the State subsequently, I think we may 

 safely expunge it from the list.
