26 Joint Bulletin 6 



Lactuca villosa. With the exception of the feverfew, only one or two 

 plants of the composites were found. The Penstetmon was a very in- 

 teresting find as it is understood to be the first record for that species 

 so far north. 



Bushes of the fly honeysuckle are widely distributed on the hills 

 and along the river, doubtless owing their origin to cultivated bushes 

 on the grounds of many residences nearby. 



Of the plants somewhat rare in the state that have been collected 

 in Woodstock, the following are worthy of mention: Equisetum palustre. 

 Lycopodium inundatum var. Bigelovii, Elymus virginicus var. hirsuti- 

 glumis, Festuea octoflora, Scirpus atrovirens, Spergularia rulyra, Ane- 

 mone riparia, Amphicarpa pitcheri (abundant along the Ottaqueeche), 

 Erodium cicutarium, Acer negundo, Halenia deflexa, Cynanchum nigrum, 

 Veronica Chamiaedrys, Crepis capillaris. Leontodon autumnalis. 



Other plants, new to the state and collected in Woodstock and 

 presented to the Billings Herbarium, are Hypoxia hirsuta, by Mrs. 

 Heselton, SalsoJa pestifera, by Mrs. Mack. 



While my collecting in the state has been chiefly at Woodstock, 

 I have been fortunate to find a few interesting plants in other locali- 

 ties in the state. Euphorbia glyptosperma, collected in Woodstock 

 in 1917, was found in Proctorsville in August, 1920, Corydalis aurea 

 was collected at North Ferrisburgh and Charlotte, Trifolium dubium, 

 Rhus glabra, Lathyrus paliistris var. myrtifolius and Zanthoxylum 

 palustris in North Ferrisburgh. 



^VERMONT DRAGON FLIES LISTED IN MANUAL OF 

 THE ODONATA OF NEW ENGLAND 



D. Lewis Button 



For the past three summers the author of this note has been col- 

 lecting dragon flies for R. Heber Howe, Jr., who was working on the 

 Odonata of New England, and has about completed a working manual 

 to cover New England. This manual describes 156 species for New 

 England, of which 44 are known to inhabit Vermont. 



*As there is no other medium in Vermont for publishing articles 

 concerning the natural history of the state which do not have to do 

 with plants or birds, the officers of the society have decided to include 

 such articles from time to time in the annual bulletin. Papers on 

 branches which have not been treated are solicited. A check list of 

 the mammals was published in Joint Bulletin 2, 1916. — Ed.
