Lucia Range, which you mention as probably being about 
the southerly limit of the species. 
The larger trees, usually growing singly, were very stately 
in appearance, and some were fully three feet in diameter 
and sixty or seventy feet high at the least. These large 
trees are commonly encircled, beyond the spread of their 
branches, by a thick growth of small ones, seeming as if they 
might have sprung from the roots of the parent.—BARCLAY _ 
Hazarp, Santa Barbara, Calif., 13 June, 1893. 
MISCELLANEOUS NOTES AND NEWS. 
Mr. Joun Macovun is devoting the season of 1893 to the 
botany of Vancouver Island. 
Messrs. SANDBERG and LerBerc are at present engaged in 
botanical exploration on the Columbia plains. The late 
summer and early autumn they expect to give to the eastern 
slope of the Cascades and the desert plains beyond. The 
gentlemen are at work under the auspices of the Department 
of Agriculture at Washington. 
Mr. B. Daypon Jackson, in the latest issue of the Bulletin 
de Herbier Boissier, has given a valuable contribution to 
botanical bibliography in a list of dates of publication of 
the various parts of the second volume of Hooker's 
Flora Boreali-Americana. The dates are taken from a copy 
in the Library of the British Museum, as those when the 
parts were received by the Principal Librarian, and denoted 
by stamping. They are so important as to need reprinting 
for the use of American students and critics, and read as 
follows: 
Sex 7, pp. 1-48 in 1834.
