When No. 58 was published, Dr. Boott had not seen any 
specimen of C. mirata; but since that time he has seen two 
specimens of it, which I forwarded to him, and one of which 
was a present to him from Dr. Bradley. Circumstances led me 
to suppose he had changed his opinion in consequence; but his 
death, so unfortunate for this science, has prevented the publi- 
cation of the 4th Part, which was to contain it and was known 
to be nearly ready for publication. What measures can be taken 
_to secure its being printed and circulated ? 
Another form, judged by Mr. Macoun to belong to this species, 
has been provisionally named 
C. mirata, var. minor, Dew. 
Staminate spikes 2-3, often 8, long and short, and scales 
slightly larger; pistillate spikes 1-2, some shorter with stamens 
at the apex, or below it, or both, as in C. mirata, with fruit 
slightly more inflated, and its scales generally shorter than the 
fruit; plant older, with brown spikes and scales 
In Belleville, C. W.; Mr. Macoun. 
Note. C. rostrata, M., commonly obtained from ponds near 
the base of the White Mts. N. H., was found most abundant by 
Rev. Mr. Paine of Utica, in August last, at a pond or small lake 
near the well known Bald Rock or Mt. in the N. E. part of Her- 
imer Co., at the west foot of the Adirondack Mountains. Muh- 
lenberg had not seen it, as he referred this name, rostrata, to his 
C. tentaculata. It was not recognized from the time of Michaux 
to 1840, when it was described in this Journal, vol. xxxix, p. 52. 
C. lenticularis, Mx., was found also by Mr. Paine along the 
chain of the “ Hight Lakes,” in Herkimer Co. a 
J. Houghtonii, Zorr., has been found, the last season, 60 miles 
north of Belleville, by John Macoun, Esq., an active and dis- 
criminating botanist. The same species has been found, the last 
‘0 seasons, by Rev. Mr. Blake, of Gilmanton, N. H., and in 
Milford, north of Bangor, Me. With great pertinence was it 
named by Dr, Torrey.
