HUNTER SCOLOPENDRIUM IN NEW YORK STATE

pendrium is very abundant. This colony was not mentioned by Maxon 
but has been reported by Petry (5). Unfortunately this substation lies 
directly in the path of development of nearby quarrying operations and 
will probably be destroyed in the near future. 
Fig. 2. Detail map of the Jamesville station. Colonies of Scolopendrium are in- 
dicated by arrows; cliffs bordering glacial channels and plunge basins are shown by dotted 
lines. Substations are as follows: A, Howlett's Gorge; B, Green Lake; C, Green Pond; 
D, Rock Gorge; E, West White Lake; F, East White Lake; G, Evergreen Lake; H, Jamesville 
Woods. Scale: i inch = il4 miles. 
During the progress of the field studies it has become evident that 
Scolopendrium is restricted in the central New York area to a very limited 
habitat, and that it need not be looked for except in regions of a definite 
topographical character. Systematic search of practically all localities 
of this character between Split Rock on the west and Perryville Falls on 
the east has been made, and has resulted in the discovery of two sub- 
stations not heretofore recorded. It cannot of course be stated positively 
that Scolopendrium does not occur elsewhere in this area; but the writer 
believes that no large colonies have been overlooked in the survey. 
F. East White Lake Substation. This substation was located some 
years ago by Dr. Todd, who kindly furnished information with regard to 
its location. It is located on the south and west slopes of a large plunge 
basin {F, fig. 2), and contains two colonies of approximately twenty and 
sixty plants respectively. 
G. Evergreen Lake Substation. About one half mile to the west of 
Evergreen Lake (known locally as ''Bullhead Pond") lies an extensive 
area of ravines and plunge basins. A striking feature of the region is a 
very deep crescent-shaped ravine. On the west slope of this ravine is a 
thrifty colony of fifty or more plants {G, fig. 2). About 200 yards east of 
this colony, on the same slope, is a single large mature plant. This sub- 
station was first discovered in October, 1920. 
The data given above answer one of the questions most often asked with 
regard to Scolopendrium in New York, namely, whether the species has
