Carex deweyana Schw. 



Open swampy ground around Carpenter's pond near Fabius- 

 H. D. House, June 29, 1915. 



Moneses uniflora (L.) A. Gray 

 Under hemlocks and cedar. Carpenter's pond. H. D. House- 

 June 29, 1915. The species was very abundant there m 191 5, but 

 a year later, on June 28, 19 16, it could not be found. However 

 the season of 19 16 was very wet and the woods where the plant had 

 formerly been found was largely under water so that its failure to 

 flower in 19 16 was not surprising. Since such conditions occur 

 frequentty it probably does not result in the extermination of the 

 species.
