and from scattered points in northern Xew Jersey from Middlesex 

 County northward, although there are no specimens from Passaic 

 County. It appears to be abundant in Westchester County, and 

 there are two specimens from eastern Orange County ; otherwise 

 the species is not represented in southern New York until the 

 mountains of Ulster, Greene, and Delaware Counties are reached.

 Staten Island, but not otherwise represented in New York except 

 in southern Westchester County. No specimens from Passaic, 

 Essex, Somerset, or any counties to the westward in New Jersey. 



V. LANCEOLATA L. Range almost identical with that of V. pri- 

 niulifoHa except that specimens are represented from Passaic and 

 Essex Counties in New Jersey.

Within the last few years several paper mills have been estab- 

 lished in our southern states. These mills utilize slash pine in the 

 preparation of craft paper which is largely used in the fabrication 

 of boxes and for wrapping paper. Four of these mills produce a 

 total of 1,200 tons of paper a day. Since it requires about two 

 cords of pulp wood for one ton of paper it means a daily require- 

 ment of 2,400 tons of pulp wood. The cellulose present is suitable 

 for chemical treatment in the speciaHzed industries if the occasion 

 should ever arise.
