The swamp is of such a large size that it is not at all surprising 

 that two different observers, working even at the same season of the 

 year, might record lists of plants which varied considerably as to the 

 minor or rarer species. For instance. Doctor Peck remarks upon 

 the absence of Viola cucullata, Veratrum viride, 

 Calla palustris and Carex intumescens, which were 

 observed by the writer as common there, at least in certain portions 

 of the swamp visited, and which ma}- have been just the portions 

 which Doctor Peck did not explore. On the other hand, Doctor 

 Peck records quite a number of species which do not appear in my 

 notes, made between June 13 and 16. 1919. It is difficult, however, 

 to imagine how he could have overlooked certain very common 

 plants like Cypripedium parviflorum, Arethusa 

 bulbosa, \^iola renifolia, Poly gala paucifolia, 

 P}rola uliginosa and Lonicera oblongifolia 

 unless the vegetative aspect of the swamp has undergone great 

 changes since the time of his visit, which does not seem probable, 

 although some lumbering and wood cutting have taken place. The 

 collections made there in 1919 include 105 different species, in 

 addition to notes made upon the general vegetation which includes 

 mention of many more species recognizable without the necessity 

 of making specimens for future reference.
