If it is common in ©me locality and mot in another this should be 

 specified, the locality for rare plants should b© apeeified. ( not 

 necessarily for publication ). 



The maps are marked with 500 foot squares and reference letters 

 and numbers which can be used to loeate the position of or the area 

 occupied by a plant approximately if it eannot be indieated briefly 

 by reference to the topographical features. 



Usually localities and areas can be indieated by referring to 

 well known features whieh are indicated on the plan ( or whieh ahould 

 be added to it ), together with the abbreviations for the points of 

 the compass, N. S. f £., *., ete. For example, "throughout val- 

 ley between certain hills, or aleftg a eertain streak, or on the 

 W. slope of a certain hill, etc. 



It will be the aim to include in the flora all plants that are 

 now growing, or that are known to have been found growing, within 

 the reservations, including adventives. The history of exterminated 

 and adventive plants with authorities for the same, and a reference 

 to an existing plant in soma herbarium should be given if possible. 



It desirable that herbarium specimens shall be preserved of all 

 the plants found growing in the reservations, and it is deemed essen- 

 tial that specimens of rare plants or those that run any chance of 

 being exterminated shall be preserved. 



Mr. if, T. Kidder of Milton, Mass., has very kindly offered to 

 preserve the identity of specimens from the Blue Hills and Stony 

 Brook reservations, and to care for them in his herbarium, which will 

 ultimately be deposited with some well established society.
