North American Species of Aleuria and Aleurina'' 



In this article the author describes six species, four under the 

 genus Aleuria and two under a new genus Aleurina. Of special 

 interest to us is the new species Aleurina aquehongensis, founded 

 upon specimens collected by N. L. Britton and F. J. Seaver near

Flora of the Vicinity of New York, etc.^ 



This work is designed to embrace, an enumeration of all the 

 known native and naturaHzed species of pteridophytes, gymno- 

 sperms, and angiosperms in Connecticut, New Jersey, the south- 

 eastern counties of New York and the eastern counties of Penn- 

 sylvania, together with a discussion of the physiographic and 

 geologic factors that influenced their past distribution and de-

 phytogeography will find in it many facts of interest, and plenty 

 of food for thought and inspiration for investigation. The scope 

 of the work is indicated in the author's opening words, viz:

 the book has been reared. This has been done because of the 

 belief that local flora lists and manuals are significant chiefly as
