SILVA OF NORTH AMERICA. 105 
Salix Sitchensis, ix. 149. In Alaska Salix Sitchensis ranges northward and westward to the shores of 
Cook Inlet and Kadiak Island, ascending to elevations of at least fourteen hundred feet above the sea-level. The 
wood is sometimes used by the coast Indians of southern Alaska for frying salmon, as the smoke does not give a 
bad taste to the fish. The pounded bark is employed to heal the flesh of cuts and wounds. (See Coville, Proc. 
Washington Acad. Sci. ii. 278; iii. 807.) 
Populus tremuloides, ix. 158. Change range from southern Nebraska to Pine Ridge, northwestern Ne- 
braska. (Teste Professor C. E. Bessey.) “In the valley of the Yukon and its tributaries Populus tremuloides is 
abundant on old river levels and dry hillsides, but rarely occurs on the rich bottom-lands. It seldom exceeds 
twelve inches in diameter or fifty or sixty feet in height. Populus balsamifera is much less common, although it 
is fairly abundant on all bottom-lands and creeks and river banks. It is a much larger tree than Populus tremu- 
loides, sometimes reaching sixteen or eighteen inches in diameter and about seventy feet or more in height when 
growing on rich alluvial soil.” (M. W. Gorman, in Jitt.) 
Populus grandidentata, ix. 161. Extend range to northeastern Iowa and southward along the Mississippi 
River to the neighborhood of Muscatine, to Steamboat Rock on the Iowa River, in Hardin County, and to the 
Ledges, Boone County, in the central part of Iowa. (este L. H. Pammel.) 
Populus heterophylla, ix. 163. Extend range in Connecticut northward to Southington, where it was found 
during the summer of 1901 by Mr. C. H. Bissell. 
Populus angustifolia, ix. 171. Extend range to the Chiricahua Mountains in the extreme southern part of 
Arizona, where it was found in 1897 by Professor J. W. Toumey. 
Oreodoxa regia, x. 81. In 1774 William Bartram visited the upper St. John River, Florida, and noticed 
Palm-trees which seemed to him “to be of a different species from the Cabbage-tree; their strait trunks are 
sixty, eighty, or ninety feet high, with a beautiful taper of a bright ash colour, until within six or seven feet of the 
top, where it is a fine green colour, crowned with an orb of rich green plumed leaves: I have measured the stem of 
these plumes fifteen feet in length, besides the plume, which is nearly of the same length.” (Zravels, 115.) 
Of the Palms of Florida this description can apply only to Oreodoxa regia, although I cannot learn that it 
now grows anywhere near the St. John River or that it has been seen there by any later traveler. It is possible 
that it is these trees to which Nuttall alludes in the preface of his Sylva of North America @. viii.). 
Juniperus Utahensis, x. 81. Add to the synonymy : — 
Juniperus Knighti, Nelson, Bot. Gazette, xxv. 198, f. 1, 2 (1898); Bull. No. 40 Wyoming Exp. 
Stat. 88, £. 18, 19 (Trees of Wyoming) ; and extend range into southern Wyoming, where it is common in 
the Red Desert region from the Seminole Mountains to Green River. 
Juniperus sabinoides, x. 91. This name as applied to this tree was first published by Nees von Esenbeck 
in Linnea, xix. 706, in 1847. The great Cedar Brake on the San Bernard River in Brazoria County, Texas, is 
composed of this species, which sometimes attains a height of a hundred feet here. (este B. F. Bush, who visited 
it in 1900.) 
Cupressus Macnabiana, x. 109. Extend range from central Napa County, California, where it has been 
found by Mr. Carl Purdy on Mt. Aitna, northward through Lake County, where it is now known to abound on 
the tributaries of the Lake, and on the slopes of Mt. Raynor, and to Red Mountain on the eastern side of Ukiah 
valley in Mendocino County, where it has been found by Mr. Purdy. In July, 1901, Miss Alice Eastwood found 
Cupressus Macnabiana on the road between Shasta and Whiskeytown, Trinity County, California, probably 
near the place where it was originally discovered by Jeffrey. (See Bull. Sierra Club, iv. 41.) 
Cupressus Nootkatensis, x. 115. Extend range eastward to Stevens’ Pass in northeastern Washington, 
where it was found by J. H. Sandberg and J. P. Leiberg at elevations of from four thousand to six thousand feet 
above the sea in August, 1893; and northwestward to Khantaak Island in Yakutat Bay, where a single tree was 
seen by Frederick Funston in 1892. (See Contrib. U. 8. Nat. Herb. iii. 828.) 
Thuya occidentalis, x. 126. Extend range to northeastern Tennessee, where it was found on the Holston 
River at Fishdam, Sullivan County, on June 10, 1897, by Mr. G. B. Sudworth. 
Thuya gigantea, x.129. Yas Bay is the extreme northwestern station from which I have seen specimens of 
this tree. Southeast of Yas Bay it is not rare on the Alaska coast, growing from the sea-level up to elevations of 
fifteen hundred feet and surpassed only by the Tideland Spruce in size. . 
Masters has shown that the oldest name for this tree is Thuya plicata, which should be adopted for it. (See 
Gard. Chron. ser. 8, xxi. 101, 218, 258.) Thuya plicata was first used by James Donn in the fourth edition of 
the Hortus Cantabrigiensis, published in 1807, but as the name was unaccompanied by any description it becomes
