 carnosiis, but the former species has firm tissues, broader basal 

 leaves and is rigidly pubescent to the flower-head, including the

Viola renifolia in the Pennsylvanian Alleghanies. — On 

 July 18, 1 901, I collected a specimen of Viola renifolia Gray on 

 the damp rocky slopes bordering the headwaters of Loyalsock 

 Creek at Shady Nook, Sullivan County, Pa., at an elevation 

 of about 2100 feet. This region is notable for the large percen- 

 tage of truly Canadian species of both plants and animals, so that 

 the occurrence is by no means unexpected. As it has never 

 been recorded from further south than New York, however, it 

 seems desirable to call attention to this station.
