At night we were at our old camp at the head of Beau Lac. 

 In the alluxial woods Aster liirsuticaulis Lindl. was abundant. 

 The lake in lower water would have been fine botanizing, but 

 Isuctcs that ought to ha\'e been near the surface was in three or 

 four feet of water. I spent over an hour wading up to my neck 

 in the cold water, supposing I was getting Isoctcs liicroglypJiica 

 A. A. Eaton, but Eaton tells me that out of some three hundred 

 specimens all but about a dozen are Isoctcs cchinospora Brannii 

 Engelm. 



The marsh)' shores gave us Listcra convallarioides Nutt. and 

 Carcx intuiucscciis Fcrnaldi Baile)', and near Cross Lake Rapids 

 was Asannn Canadcnse L. Our guide thought he could show 

 us the red water lily in Glazier Lake. It proved to be Polygonnni 

 aiupJiibiuiii L. growing with Spargatnnvi simplex angustifoUiivi 

 (Michx.) Engelm. and Myriopliyllmn vci-ticillatinn L. The little 

 rocky islet in the St. John at the mouth of the St. Erancis had Poa 

 glmica \2\\\.,Jiiiiciis Dudlcyi Wiegand,y. ]^ascyi Engelm., AUuivi 

 Sibiric2im L., Astragalus alpinus L., LatJiyriis palustris L., Ara- 

 galhis Jolianncnsis Rydb., Vacciimun cacspitosum Michx., Gcii- 

 tiaua acuta Michx., G. linearis Frocl., Castillcja acuiiiiiuita (Pursh.) 

 Spreng., Aster longifoliiis Lam., A. longif alius villicaulis A. Gray, 

 A. radula Ait., Solidago sguarrosa Muhl., Tanacetuni Huroueiise 

 Nutt, etc. This proved the best botanizing ground of the trip.

SHORTER NOTES 



NoTKS ON THE LocAL Flok.a. — Specimens of Dryoptens 

 siniulata and of ]]Un>d7cardia aiigustifolia were found in abundance 

 near Quogue, L. I., last summer. This is the fifth station in New 

 York for the first and tlie sixth for the second. Very near these 

 stations were found plants of Caltha radicans. This may be the 

 West Hampton station of Britton's Flora for the division be- 

 tween the towns was not more than a third of a mile awaj'. 



In a swamp at West Hampton were found specimens o{ Lyeo- 

 podium alopceuroidcs. This is the third station for Long Island. 



A few ])lants of Aspleuiutu piuiiatifiiluni were found by a 

 friend, Mr. Huiuington, a few summers ago at Sharon, Conn.
