IV PREFACE. 



Important aid has been derived from a Catalogue of the 

 Plants of New Hampshire compiled for the Geological Survey by 

 Wm. F. Flint of Winchester. Acknowledgments are also due 

 to F. H. Herrick of Tilton, L. J. Graves, M. D., of Claremont, 

 and especially to Nathan Barrows, M. D., of Meriden, for infor- 

 mation and personal assistance. From the Vermont side of the 

 Connecticut river, many rare species have been reported from 

 North Pomfret by Prof. A. P. Morgan ; from Sharon by E. K. 

 Baxter, M. D. ; and from Union Village by Ferdinand Blanchard, 

 M. D. ; while Mt. Ascutney and the vicinity of Windsor have 

 been most thoroughly explored by Mr. George H. Leland. 



The students of the N. H. College of Agr. and the Mech. 

 Arts, and those of the Chandler Scientific Department of Dart- 

 mouth College, have also contributed their share in various ways. 



Localities not otherwise designated are in New Hampshire. 



The names of introduced species are printed in small cap- 

 itals. All of this class, like the Ox-eye Daisy, the Dandelion, 

 the more common species of Dock, Burdock, Canada Thistle, 

 etc., are of interest, as showing that our native Flora has often 

 to contend for possession with emigrants from other lands. More 

 commonly these plants come in with the seeds used on the farm 

 and in the garden. A few of them are found only near manufac- 

 turing establishments, imported with the raw material to be man- 

 ufactured, and persisting it may be but a few seasons. 



As the present Catalogue is only preliminary to one in the 

 future which it is to be hoped will be more complete, Botanists will 

 confer a favor by reporting all corrections, additions, and facts 

 as to the distribution of species, with speci??iens of the plants, to 

 the Editor, for future use, when due acknowledgments will be 

 made. Some corrections will be found at the end. 



A list of the Vertebrate Animals of the same district in- 

 cluded in the Flora, is appended. The classification is that 

 of Jordan's Manual of the Vertebrates of the Northern United 

 States (Third Ed. 1880). Whatever of value there is in this por- 

 tion of the Catalogue is due to Prof. T. W. D. Worthen of Dart- 

 mouth College, who carefully revised the manuscript, and cor- 

 rected the proof-sheets.
