Publications of the Ohio Biological Survey. 
The writer has before him two botanical bulletins of great 
interest as relating to the flora and vegetation of Ohio. The 
bulletins are 2 and 3 of the Ohio Biological Survey. 
Bulletin 2, a “Catalog of Ohio Vascular Plants,” by Prof. 
J. H. Schaffner, is a well-printed pamphlet of 120 pages, con¬ 
taining entries for 2065 species and a number of varieties and 
hybrids. The State Herbarium has been taken as the basis for 
the citation of species, although certain other reliable sources 
have been drawn upon. The list is a conservative one, quite 
a large number of species noted in former lists having been dropped, 
a thorough investigation having failed to show their occurrence 
in the state. The method of entry for such species is: Serial 
number, scientific name, common name, and distribution by 
counties. If the distribution is general the names of the counties 
are omitted, the occurrence being indicated as “General, ” “Rather 
general,” etc.
