A Yerar’s FERN COLLECTING 125 
want to take this opportunity of thanking Mr. Brown 
and Mr. Bassett for all they did to make both of these 
trips most enjoyable and profitable. 
CENTRAL NEw YORK 
In June, 1917, Dr. H. D. House, the New York State 
Botanist, and I.made an auto trip through the central 
portion of the state, chiefly for the purpose of studying 
the flora of cedar swamps. As our trip included a 
brief stop at Jamesville, it was not entirely without 
interest from a fern standpoint. As the Green and Blue 
Lake region has been so often described, I will pass 
over this very interesting locality, merely recording that 
we collected Scolopendrium vulgare, Camptosorus rhi- 
zophyllus, Asplenium Trichomanes and Polypodium vul- 
gare. 
A few other ferns gathered on this trip are worth 
mentioning. Aspidium simulatum we found at Sylvan 
Beach on Oneida Lake; Botrychiwm lanceolatum var. 
angustisegmentum occurred in a deep woods near Taberg, 
Madison County; and Lycopodium inundatum we col- 
lected in a sphagnum bog at Lily Marsh, Oswego County. 
Tue ADIRONDACK AND GREEN MOUNTAINS 
Five members of the Rochester Academy of Science, 
Messrs. Baxter, Boughton, Matthews, White, and my- 
self, left Rochester one morning in July, 1917, on what 
was to be a most pleasurable auto trip through the 
north country. Swinging around by way of Oswego, 
Watertown and Malone, we entered the Adirondacks 
from the north and made our headquarters at the Wood 
farm, just south of Lake Placid, the last outpost of 
civilization, before entering the Mt. Marcy wilderness. 
One day we spent in Keene Valley, walking up the 
Asuable Valley beyond St. Huberts. In the deep woods 
here we found Polystichum Braunii and Botrychium
