Seven specimens from “ Utricularia washings, West Twin Lakes, Charlevoix, 
Aug. 13, 1894.” A note on the label reads, “Small forms green.” M. viri- 
datum is a cosmopolitan species, occurring in all continental countries of Europe, 
and in Scotland, Greenland, and New Zealand. This is the first record of its 
capture in the United States. 
1 The species marked with an asterisk were not sent tome. The accounts here 
given are from notes and drawings by Prof. H. B. Ward. The quotation marks 
refer to the labels or Prof. Ward’s notes.
