Nature Book List Wanted 



Mrs. A. B. Morgan, of Woodstock, would like a list of the newest 

 and best books for nature students published in the Bulletin, and 

 also something about the insect pests of Vermont. Mrs. Anne T. 

 Angell, of Brattleboro, would like to see a list of publications by the 

 State, or by Departments at Washington, that would be of especial 

 interest to Club members. Another suggestion comes from Miss Eliza- 

 beth Billings, of Woodstock, who would like a comparison of the 

 floras of eastern and western Vermont published in the Bulletin. 

 Mrs. H. H. Blanchard, of Springfield, asks for information about 

 Vermont mushrooms and shells. 



New Hepatic for State 



Miss Annie Lorenz, of Hartford, Conn., reports that one new 

 hepatic has been found for the State, making the Vermont list 130. 

 It is Fossombronia foveolata Lindb. It was collected by her at Grand 

 Isle, in August, 1919. 



Pink Pond Lilies Found 



A pink form of the pond lily, Castalia odorata, was found in a pond 

 of rather high elevation, near Newbury, Mrs. Nellie F. Flynn reports. 

 Mrs. Flynn would like to hear from any person who has ever seen pink 

 tinged lilies of this type in Vermont. 



Shall We Consolidate Meetings? 



It has been suggested that on account of the slim attendance 

 lately at the winter meetings, due to cold weather and the expense of 

 travel, the summer and winter meetings be combined in one large 

 summer meeting, using the evenings for the reading and discussion 

 of papers. This will probably be taken up at the next meeting. 



Hawk Owl in Rutland 



A hawk owl was observed in Rutland, on November 27, 1920, by 

 G. L. Kirk, the bird remaining about nearly a week, or until a consid- 

 erable fall of snow caused it to change its feeding ground. It was seen 

 daily, as darkness was falling, flying over the meadowlands, close to 

 the ground, having much the appearance of a marsh hawk.
