Sw., A. spinulosum (O. F. Muller) Sw., var. intermedium 

 (Muhl.) D. C. Eaton, and Osmunda Claytoniana L. Cystop- 

 teris bulbifera (L.) Bernh., which was collected here on pre-

 Fairfield, where on the ledges grow Aster linariifolius L.. 

 Senecio Balsamitae Muhl., Prunus pumila L-, Potentilla triden- 

 taia Ait., P. fruticosa L,., Solidago racemosa Greene, and

The banks of the Kennebec back of Colby College were

 Winslow side but less varied. Here were secured Solidago 

 squarrosa Muhl., 5. racemosa Greene, Aster li?iariifolius L-, 

 Andropogon furcatus Muhl., and A. scoparius Michx., var.
