ingston county, and it occurs in great abundance along the railroad

ABIES ALBA, Mx. 
Newcomb, Essex county. It also occurs in North Elba, but in 
all the localities observed by me the trees were growing in cleared 
land, and had evidently sprung up since the forests were cut.

wintergreen, Polygala paucifolia, from Binghamton.

tains, and in some places it is exceedingly thrifty and vigorous.
