OzsERVATIONE SUR LA VEGETATION DE L’ILE DE Srrewa, 
M. BonGARD. Mem. Acad. St. Petersb. VI. 2: 1831. 
This paper is of special interest on account of the supposed 
occurrence of species first described therein within the western — 
boundaries of the United States, either in the moist regions of. 
the northwest coast at low elevations, or on the high interior 
mountains. The custom of citing the title of the paper instead Sis 
of the publication in which it occurred is now happily discon- 
tinued. The citation “Veg. Sitch.” refers to this paper. The 
figures after the specific name means the page number on which 
the description was originally printed.
