Le Roy Abrams and F. J. Smiley. Taxonomy and distri- 

 bution of Eriodictyon. (The Bot. Gazette. LX. p. 115—133. 3 Fig. 

 1915.) 



This paper contains a general description of the genus with 

 notes on the distribution, a key to the determination of the species 

 and descriptions of the different species. Each description is accom- 

 panied by the synonymy and by notes on type locality and distri- 

 bution and by an enumeration of the examined specimens. One 

 new species: Eriodictyon lanatum (Brand) Abrams {E. californicum 

 subsp. austräte var. lanatum Brand) and one new variety: E. cras- 

 sifolium denudatum Abrams are described in the paper. The 

 illustrations represent the type specimens of E. crassifolium Benth. 

 and E. tomentosum Benth. The third figure is a distributional map 

 of the genus. Jongmans. 



Roberts, E, A., The distribution of beach plant s. (The 

 Bot. Gazette. LX. p. 406-411. 1915.) 



The plants on the lower and middle beaches of some of the 

 coasts of the Elizabethan Islands and Falmouth (eastern 

 Massachusetts) are found to have in general definite zonal 

 distribution. 



The shores may be divided into sea beach and sea cliff types; 

 the latter may be subdivided into cliff types with Zostera marina 

 and those without. 



The Upper half of the middle beach is called the transitionalzone. 



When the lower beach is covered most of the time by water^ 

 Suaeda maritima, Salicornia europaea, and Limonium carolinianum 

 are found in the order given, from ocean to shore. 



The forms of the middle beach are found in definite zones, and 

 when not present their places are not filled. 



As to the cause of this distribution the author hopes to offer 

 some suggestions in the near future. Jongmans.
