Swamp White Oak (Quercus bicolor). — A large swamp-fre- 

 quenting tree, with whitish gray bark somewhat like that of the 

 common white oak. The leaf is, however, more like that of the 

 chestnut oak, being oval in general form, rather coarsely scalloped 

 or toothed, the projections round. The acorn has a long stem which 

 is attached obliquely. Noted as very common and large at Norton- 

 ville, September 12, 1899, where it was associated with Q. paluslris 

 and Q. michauxii.
