6. Erythroniuni albidum Nutt. The general range of this 

 species is given as " Ont. to Minn., south to Ga.", etc. There 

 are no specimens from our range, the nearest stations represented 

 in the collection, being Albany, N. Y., and Alleghany Co., Pa. 

 In Britton's catalog of New Jersey plants the species is doubtfully 

 credited to the state. What is the distribution of the plant in our 

 range ? 



7. Erythronitnn propullans A. Gray. The inclusion of this 

 plant in these notes is probably quite useless. In Britton's manual 

 the species is reported from New York. No specimens are extant 

 from the range and the plant's general distribution almost pre- 

 cludes the idea of its occurrence. It may turn up in the higher 

 Catskills. 



8. Aletris aurea Walt. The plant is reported from southern 

 New Jersey, according to Gray and Rusby. Apparently the re- 

 port is not true, for at least some of the specimens on which it was 

 based are A. farinosa. Has anyone ever seen it in southern 

 Jersey ? Otherwise its most northerly station is in Virginia. 



CONVALLARIACEAE 



1. Clintonia umbellulata (Michx.) Torrey. A single rather 

 doubtful specimen from Short Hills, N. J., is all that was found 

 in the combined collections. While the plant may be rare it 

 seems scarcely credible that we know its true range. The general 

 range is given as " N. Y. and N. J. to Ga.", etc. 



2. Vagnera racemosa (L.) Morong. The only excuse for 

 mentioning this common plant is that in spite of general state- 

 ments that the plant is common throughout New Jersey, none 

 of our specimens are from south of New Brunswick. Among 

 the twenty-odd stations represented it is curious that this plant 

 should be so restricted to the upper part of the pine land region. 

 Elsewhere in the range it is very common. 



3. Vagnera trifolia (l^.')M.OYox\g. One specimen marked merely 

 " Conn." is all we have from the range. With a general range 

 of from Newfoundland to New Jersey and Pennsylvania it should 

 be found in northern New Jersey, the hilly part of the counties 

 in Pennsylvania, and almost certainly in the Catskills. Judging
