county by Day and from Cattaraugus count)- by P. Boehner. The writer located 

 it on dead wood at Wanakah, N. Y., Erie county, on April 25, 1944. 



MOSSES 



Fissidens grandifrons Brid. is listed in Day's catalogue from Niagara Falls, 

 Niagara county, and from Caledonia Creek, Livingston county. I collected it 

 from wet rocks in the Delaware Park greenhouse, Buffalo, N. Y., Erie county 

 on January 10, 1944. 



Bryum argent eum (L.) Brid. was reported by Knobloch and Bleekman 

 from Salamanca, N. Y. It is locally common and specimens were gathered 

 from along the creek in Forest Lawn cemetery, Buffalo, N. Y. on October 24, 

 1943. 



PTERIDOPHYTES 



Isoetes sp. was collected along the shores of Chautauqua Lake, Chautauqua 

 county, near Fluvanna on September 7, 1943 but neither Mr. Weatherby nor 

 myself were able to identify the species because of lack of macrospores. Both 

 Clinton and Day found Braun's quillwort in the Niagara river above the 

 falls in the last quarter of the nineteenth century but no specimens have been 

 collected since that time. It is important therefore, to record at least the re- 

 discovery of the genus in this area and further collections will be made soon 

 to clear up the question of the specific rank of our specimens. 



ANGIOSPERMS 



Streptopus amplexijolius (L.) DC. is not listed in Zenkert's flora. An 

 atypical specimen was found on W. Kenmore road, Tonawanda, N. Y., on 

 June 25, 1928 by the late Dr. G. C. Hicks which both Dr. Etlar Nielsen and 

 myself think belongs here. 



Microstylis unijolia (Michx.) BSP. has been recorded for both Erie and 

 Wyoming counties by others but the writer found it in the Allegany State Park, 

 Cattaraugus county, on August 25, 1928. 



Asarum reflexum Bickn. is rarer locally than A. canadense. It has been 

 found previously at North Evans, Erie county, and at Quaker Run, Cattarau- 

 gus county. I collected it on Buckhorn Island in the Niagara river on May 30 r 

 1943. 



Amelanchier humilis Wiegand is listed as rare and from Genesee county 

 by Zenkert in his flora of the Niagara Frontier. Dr. Nielsen identified a local 

 specimen as A. humilis Wiegand var. typica Nielsen which had been collected 

 by P. Hoffman along Transit road near Buffalo, N. Y., on April 27, 1938. 



All of the above specimens are either in the herbarium of the University 

 of Buffalo or in the writer's collection.
