Mr. H. J. Wepper has published an Appendix to the Catalogue of 
the Flora of Nebraska. The flora of this very interesting state is being 
vigorously investigated, and as the somewhat arbitrary line between 
the eastern and western manuals runs through it, such a list as this 
appendix contains unusually affects their contents. The appendix 
adds 432 species to the original catalogue, and the recorded Nebraska 
flora now contains 48 protophytes, 115 zygophytes, 27 odphytes, 808 
carpophytes, 60 “es eau 19 pteridophytes, and 1245 phanerogem

THE 23d Contribution from the Herbarium of Columbia College 
entitled “The American Species of the Genus Anemone and the Gen- 
era which have been sti to it,’ by N. L. Britton. In this paper 
Dr. Britton reviews the various notions as to generic limtations, and 
casts in the weight of his authority against consolidation, regarding 
Anemone and Pulsatilla as worthy of being considered distinct gene™ 
Hepatica and Anemonella dre also kept distinct, the latter bearing the 
older generic name Syndesmon Hoffmg. In addition to these genera 
which are represented from North America, the other American = 
era, Capethia and Barneoudia, are considered. Pulsatilla, thus reviv 
fied, contains two species, the old Anemone patens, var. uttalll 
appearing as P. hirsutissima (Pursh). Anemone, thus delimited, is cred- 
ited with 28 species, 9 of which are confined to South America. 
new species of the United States are 4. Zetonensis Porter, 
and A. Lyaliii Britton, of the northwestern Pacific region.
