by use of Brittou and Brown's Flora. Specimens were not pre- 

 served, but the material placed in my seed collection has been 

 worked upon by Mr. Bartlett, who reports that as far as can be 

 determined from the fruiting heads and perigynia alone, my deter- 

 mination is correct. Only three or four tussocks of this sedge were 

 noted, and the plant may owe its presence there to railroad mtro- 

 duction. The species has not been reported from the State. 



Carex cephalophora Muhl. (Marion, Madison and Delaware Counties.) 



Taken by me in these counties in 190-1. Kosciusko and Vigo seem to 

 be the only other counties from which this species is recorded. 



Carex festucacea Willd. (Pulaski County.) 



Mature fruit, etc., so determined by me was taken one mile south of 

 Ripley post-ofHce. Mr. Bartlett reports that this determination 

 also seems to be correct. The sedge was abundant along ditches 

 by the roadside, and ought to be common elsewhere in the State, 

 although as yet unrecorded. 



Juncus tenuis anthelatus Wiegand. (Posey County.) 



Plants so determined by Mr. Bartlett were sent to him by Dr. Schneck, 

 by whom they were collected June 7, 1881. 



Juncus monostichus Bartlett. •• (Madison County.) 



This species was described from material collected by the writer Au- 

 gust 6, 1904, south of Anderson. Using Britton and Brown's Flora, 

 I could not identify the plant, but thought that it might be J. se- 

 cundus Beauv. or J. dichotomus Ell. I turned the material over to 

 Mr. Bartlett, Avho found it most nearly related to J. Greenei Oakes 

 & Tuckerman, as shown by its seed characters. Since the original 

 description was published, Mr. Bartlett has found that capsules of 

 the type contain at least as many as thirty seeds, which means a 

 greater productiveness than at first supposed. (C. P. Smith No. 140, 

 in Herb. Bartlett and Gray Herb.) 



Juncus dichotomus Ell. (Posey County.) 



Of the Schneck Junci, the only Wabash Valley plant labeled J. dicho- 

 tomus proved to be immature J. tenuis, so this species should be 

 dropped from the State Catalogue (p. 675). 



Juncus brachycarpm Engelm. (Wabash County, 111.) 



In Dr. Schneck's collection, from Mt. Carmel, 111. Should be looked 

 for on the Indiana side of the river.
