Excluded Species. 



Ilex opaca, Ait., and I. glabra, Gray, are reported from Halifax, N.S., 

 by Dr. Sommers, in a catalogue of Nova Scotian plants, 'published in 

 the Proceedings of the Nova Scotia Institute of Natural Sciences, 1875- 

 76. Hooker, on the authority of Pursh, credits those species to Canada. 

 I exclude them on the ground of insufficient evidence, and because 

 their range in the United States is south of our limits.
