5. Formations on Mt. Mansfield. 
Mt. Mansfield, 4,364 feet (1330 m) is on the western branch of the Green 
Mountains in Vermont. It is a long range of four peaks separated from Sterling 
Mountain on the northeast by Smugglers Notch, a narrow pass three miles 
long, enclosed by tremendous cliffs. There are but two plants found in 
Willoughby Notch Vermont which are not duplicated on Mt. Mansfield. These 
are Sisymörium humile and Aster polyphyllus (= A. Fazxoni)'). 
An analysis of the flora of Smugglers Notch made by J. W. HARSH- 
BERGER in August 1906 shows the following disposition of the species. The forest: 
in the gorge and on its slopes up to a considerable elevation consists of Berula 
lenta, B. lutea, Fagus americana, Acer saccharum, A. rubrum, Tsuga canadensis 
(scattered), while as secondary re are found Acer pennsylvanıcum, Viburnum 
lantanoides and young trees ofthe dominant ones. The herbaceous plants scattered 
between the schistic slabs are f.e. Actaea alba and rubra, Tiarella cordifolia, 
Asarum canadense, Viola rotundifolia, Monotropa un love, Mitchella, Medeola, 
Coptis trifolia, Cornus canadensis, Oxalis, Impatiens, Trillium erythrocarpum, 
Clintonia borealis, Adiantum Praabin. (Deciduous Forest Formation; 
Acer-Fagus-Betula-Facies). — Ascending the gorge slopes until the lower
