from extra-territorial specimens in the collections the plant marked 

 merely " Conn." came from the northern part of the state. 



4. Streptopns ample xif alius (L.) DC. The only two stations 

 represented by our specimens are in the higher Catskills. Pre- 

 sumably the species is found along the mountains south to North 

 Carolina, but just how far down within our range it may be 

 found is entirely unknown except by inference. 



5. Trillhun erectwn L. Among the twenty or more stations 

 represented there is only one on Long Island, at Glen Cove. 

 Has this plant ever been seen south of the hilly back-bone of the 

 island ? In New Jersey the statement that it is found only in 

 the middle or upper counties is quite correct, so far as our speci- 

 mens show. Has the plant been collected south of a line extend- 

 ing from Perth Amboy to Belvidere, N. J. ? 



6. Trillhun undiilaiuin Willd. The most southerly station in 

 our range is apparently the Pocono Plateau, Pa. With a general 

 distribution reaching to Georgia on the south this plant can 

 probably be found considerably further south than the Pocono 

 region. 



7. Trillium grandiflorunt (Michx.) Salisb. There are no speci- 

 mens from the range. The nearest locality to our area is Lan- 

 caster Co., Pa. The general distribution of this species postulates 

 a wider range for it within our area than is evidenced by reports 

 and specimens. 



Smilacaceae 



I Smilax tamnifolia Michx. Some specimens from southern. 

 Jersey show the plant's distribution in this region to be about as 

 the manuals indicate. Neither of them says anything about the 

 occurrence of this species on Long Island. An unquestionably 

 authentic specimen from Rockville Centre, L. I., collected by 

 Mr. E, P. Bicknell, gives rise to the query as to where else the 

 plant may be found. There is a strong probability that the 

 species will ultimately turn up in the intervening territory, par- 

 ticularly that which is of similar geologic structure. 



2. Smilax pulvertdenta Michx. With a general distribution 

 of "Ontario to N. Carolina", etc., our single specimen from 

 Bartow, New York City, quite obviously does not hint at the
