field, Vt. About two weeks later, on August 6th, I re- 
turned to Northfield with Mr. C. H. Bissell and we then 
made a more complete survey of this station. 
Paine Mt. is a level ridge 2600 ft. in elevation, ex- 
tending in a north and south direction, covered at the 
Summit with recent growth forest except a portion of 
the south end of the ridge and a clearing extending from 
this point down the western slope and rapidly widening

further down toward Northfield village are several 
abandoned slate quarries. 
At this cleared south end among the rocks and bushes 
and scattered through the neighboring thickets the 
Male Fern is vigorous and abundant and from there it 
continues down the slope in a general northwesterly
