sic river road, and several roadside stations for Helianthus tuberosus 

 were located. 



Rhamnus cathartica was found growing abundantly in a dry pasture 

 in the west part of the town. A new station for Habenaria hookeri 

 was located in a bit of woodland near the village, but my best "find" of 

 the season was a single plant of Habenaria leucophaa growing in moist 

 pasture land. This last specimen was sent to Dr. Brainerd for verifi- 

 cation. 



At Stiles' pond in Waterford, about four miles from St. Johnsbury, 

 I found a very large area of Hypericum virginicum and also of Circuta 

 bulbifera. 



In Lyndon, a few miles north of St. Johnsbury, a large patch of 

 Hehopsis helianthoides (Dr. Brainerd identified it for me) was found 

 growing on a sandy hillside and a generous quantity of Potentillo recta 

 was growing by the roadside a few T rods farther north. 



A new station for Solidago cutleri was discovered by W. E. Balch 

 on Baldwin Hill in Lunenburg, at an altitude of about 2,000 feet. This 

 specimen was sent to Prof. M. L. Fernald for verification. 



In my notes published in last year's bulletin, I wish to correct 

 one error. My aster which I identified as A. sagittifolius. W. W. Eggles- 

 ton tells me is A. cordifolius. 



NOTES. 



There has been distributed by George L. Kirk several specimens of 

 a peculiar goldenrod from Mount Killington under the name Solidago 

 calcicola. This was done on the authority of Dr. Merritt L. Fernald of 

 Cambridge, Mass., who identified the plant from two specimens sent 

 him in 1913. Having since seen a great amount of material of S. calci- 

 cola from a number of northern stations, Mr. Fernald now considers 

 that the Vermont plant must be excluded from that species, being 

 probably a hybrid between 8. maerophylla and 8. rugosa, which was 

 what Harold G. Rugg, D. Lewis Dutton and Mr. Kirk considered it 

 when they first saw it in the field. 



Miss Grace I. Ross of Washington, D. C, a member of the Botanical 

 club, and William E. Chamberlin, a chemist in the employ of the United 

 States government, were married at Washington, March 3, 1915. 



Mr. Kirk took, at Rutland for the United States biological survey, a 

 bird census similar to that described in this issue by Mrs. Morgan of
