like annular disk of the American yew, Taxus canadensis Marsh, 

 was noted. These increased in number at the higher altitudes, 

 occurring in depressions or very damp shaded spots. In a large 

 stand of deciduous trees a number of specimens of Habenaria 

 hyperborea (L.) R. Br. were collected. One of these is an espe- 

 cially beautiful specimen, very tall and straight, with about 

 thirty-five blossoms on it. A surprise was furnished in finding 

 Hypericum piinctatum Lam. in a damp, shady situation. H. 

 perforatum L. is very common throughout this region but of the 

 many times in years gone by that a search had been made for H. 

 punctatum it has never been located in this vicinity until now. 

 In the descent a number of specimens of Aster acuminatus Michx. 

 were picked up, growing among some dense, wet underbrush 

 alongside a "trickle." These are apparently confined to this 

 mountain as a search of the woods north of Bash-Bish brook 

 failed to disclose another specimen. 



In closing it would be well to correct an error in Mr. S. H. 

 Burnham's Supplementary List of the Plants of Copake Falls, 

 N. Y., published in Torreya for September, 1913. The legend 

 attached to my photograph in Torreya 13: 127 is correct. 

 Lookout Rock is in Massachusetts and next the state line. The 

 view is directly west toward the Hudson River and shows the 

 "Gap" referred to for its entire distance in New York State. 

 Sunset Rock is a very different spot situate on a high promontory 

 directly overlooking the valley shown in the distance and about 

 two miles due northwest of Lookout Rock.

Rhododendron albiflorum Hook. 

 The flowers of this beautiful shrub are always described as 

 white. My specimens from the Selkirks and the Coast Range, 

 B. C, and Mt. Ranier, Wash., are white. One day last summer, 

 however, on a mountain side at Roger's Pass in the Selkirks, I 

 found one plant on which the three anterior petals had a few 

 yellow dots towards the base of the segments. On the mountains
