2. Piniis pimgens Michx, f. There are no specimens from the 

 range, the nearest being from Lancaster county, Pa. In Britton, 

 Cat. Plants of N. J., 301, the following record is given : " Hunter- 

 don Co., abundant one mile east of Sergeantsville." Reasoning 

 from the general distribution given in recent works the tree should 

 be found in the upper northwestern counties of New Jersey and 

 southward through western Jersey and adjacent Pennsylvania. 

 Has any one specimens from this territory ? 



3. Pinus virginiana Mill. Its New Jersey distribution is about 

 as the books give it, but Miller & Young in Cat. Plants of Suf- 

 folk Co., L. I., credit the tree to that county. There are no 

 Long Island specimens in the collections, and the question is 

 whether it really grows there or whether it once grew there and 

 has been eliminated, or whether the original identification was 

 wrong. Some recent treatments credit the species to Long 

 Island and others do not. 



4. Pifizis Taeda L. There is a single specimen from the range 

 in the Columbia University herbarium marked simply " S. Jersey." 

 It is not credited to the range in the Preliminary Catalog of the 

 Club, in Britton Cat. of Plants of N. J., but in the Handbook of 

 the Flora of Philadelphia and vicinity it is recorded from " Near 

 Cape May." Does it occur north of the. Cape May region? 

 Specimens growing in the Botanical Garden have flourished sev- 

 eral years, so on the score of temperature the upper pine barren 

 country should not prove a barrier, and the plant may well occur 

 north of Cape May. 



5. Larix Laricina (Du Roi) Koch. Specimens in the collec- 

 tions bring this species down to Stockholm, Passaic Co., and 

 Newton, Sussex Co., N. J. In the Cat. of Plants of New Jersey 

 are the following more southerly stations : New Durham, Warren 

 Co. ; Closter, Bergen Co. ; Budd's Lake, Morris Co. ; Oxford 

 Furnace, Great Meadows, and Green's Pond, Warren Co. Speci- 

 mens are desired from any of these localities or to the south of 

 them, so that its present southerly distribution in New Jersey 

 may be determined. 



6. Tsnga canadensis (L.) Carr. The most southerly station 

 represented in the collection is the New York Botanical Garden,
