The question may arise whether it is worth while to pubHsh 
such fragmentary Hsts as are given below. The answer is that 
so very little is known regarding the local distribution of Wis- 
consin plants ( I ) that even the scantiest data are a help to the 
student. It is devoutly to be wished that a more systematic study 
may soon be undertaken by competent authority, so that such 
work as this may be entirely ' superseded. 
The majority of the plants in the Milwaukee herbarium come 
from Milwaukee county. Of these full lists have already been 
published. There are some sheets with plants coming from many 
scattered parts of the state, but not enough from any one locality 
to make a useful list. These have been omitted. The lists printed 
below refer therefore to portions of Eastern Wisconsin, i. c, that 
part lying between Lake Michigan on the east and the Fox-Rock 
River Valley on the west. The only exception is the list referring 
to the vicinity of the Dells of the Wisconsin, which is in the cen- 
tral portion of the state. 
The numbers added are the regular accession numbers of the 
Milwaukee herbarium. 
A. JEFFERSON COUNTY. 
The region covered by this list lies in the broad valley of the 
Rock River. It was originally debatable ground between oak for- 
est, opening and prairie, with large stretches of sedge marsh and 
tamarack swamp. At present most of the area is under culti- 
vation or in pasture. There are numerous brooks and a large 
body of water known as Lake Koshkonong, besides smaller lakes 
and ponds. 
The plants in this list were collected by T. Kumlien, unless 
otherwise noted. Mr. Kumlien's work was mostly done forty and 
more years ago, so that some of his species have probably disap- 
peared from the locality.
