cliff on Catamount Mt. 3 Oneonta, about 1600 ft. and 

 extending for nearly three-quarters of a mile east and 

 west. Thousands of plants but not particularly large, 

 and exposed to the full blaze of the sun. Natty 

 Bumpo's Cave and Prospect Rock, near shore of Ot- 

 sego Lake; plentiful, large fine plants. Elevation 

 1800 feet. 



Botrychium simplex, in rocky upland woods on the 

 Mills Farm, North Franklin, Ouleout Valley. 



B. lanceolatum, same station as simplex. 



B. marticarijolium, one station in beech and maple 

 woods Goodyear Lake, near Portlandville, Otsego 

 County. 



B. Obliquum, forms dissectum, matricariae, Qnei- 

 dense and intermedium , in hilly pastures and along 

 country roadsides; common. 



Polystichum Braunii, in exceedingly deep and 

 heavily wooden ravine on the south side of the 

 Schenevus Creek opposite Chaseville. Otsego County. 

 The rock formation of this particular ravine is curious 

 in that it seems to be different from anything in the 

 surronding territory. It is a shale almost approach- 

 inng to a gray slate. The sides of this gorge rise in 

 places to a height of nearly 200 ft., making an angle 

 of about 80° to the horizontal. About twenty-five or 

 thirty plants of P. Braunii were obseiwed growing at 

 the base and on the shelves of this rocky wall. The 

 rock is so weathered and shattered that it is impossible 

 to scale the walls even for a short distance. The eleva- 

 tion of this gorge is from 1-100 to 2000 ft. 



This leaves the region north and east of Otsego 

 Lake, which is on a point of the limestone ridge run- 

 ning through Central New York east to the Hudson, 

 as yet unexplored.
