Dry sand. Pine Barren region, apparently only once collectec! 

 in the past, by D. C. Eaton, near Batsto, in i860. Gray quotes 

 "near Batsto, D. C. Eaton," in the fifth edition of the Manual, 

 and Prof. Fernald writes me that there are two sheets in the 

 Gray Herbarium bearing printed lal^els "In vicinis Quaker 



* C. D. Lippincott's specimen from Repaupo, quoted by Keller and Brown, 

 proves to be X. congdoni, and Jahn's record from Paulsboro was doubtless 

 the same, authough no specimen was preserved. 



t In Britton's catalogue it is recorded from Taunton, on authority of Dr. 

 J. Stokes, and Keller and Brown quote Woodmansie and Forked River (Heri- 

 tage) and Hammonton (Crawford). There are no specimens to substantiate 

 these records, however, and subsequent search has failed to discover the 

 species at these localities. In view of the frequent misidentification of species 

 of this genus it seems safe to reject them, especially as the three gentlemen 

 responsible for the records concur in this opinion.
