Since assuming charge of the course in Field and Systematic 

 Botany at the Biological Laboratory, Cold Spring Harbor, N. 

 Y., the writer and his assistants have been engaged in making 

 a card catalogue of the native and cultivated plants in the 

 vicinity of the Laboratory, as these were collected by members 

 of the staff and students. He has also examined and assembled 

 records left by former workers at the Laboratory, and from 

 these has prepared the following list of plants previously un- 

 known, or at most, indefinitely reported from Long Island. In 

 checking this list, not only were the earlier lists of Jelliffe, (3), 

 and Grout, (4), consulted, but the more recent studies of Harper 

 on Long Island vegetation, (6, 14, 15, 16), together with those 

 of Johnson and York, (10), Harshbergei , (12), Conard, (8), 

 completing the final checking with Taylor's studies, (11, 20), 

 those of Burnham and Latham, (9, 13, 17, 19), and Ferguson's 

 two recent papers, (18, 21). The workers whose data, besides 

 that of the writer, is presented in the following list are: — 



Professor J. Arthur Harris, University of Minnesota, Min- 

 neapolis, Minn. 



Miss Gail H. Llolliday, Wheeling High School, Wheeling, W. 

 Va. The taxonomy and nomenclature used are essentially that 

 of the Illustrated Flora of the Northern States and Canada, 

 second edition. 



Our records confirm tlie presence on Long Island of the fol- 

 lowing species listed by Burnham and Latham, (1914): — 

 Bromus hordeaceiis, Carex cancscois disjiincia, Carex flexuosa, 

 Scirpus paliidosiis, Salix purpurea, Lychnis dioica, Rubus 

 phoeniculasius, Viola papilianacea domestica, Apocyiiuni medium,
