Perhaps it would not be remiss to correct a mistake
or two in the Catalogue. One is Carex excilis
acredited to Oriskany Swamp I found it at Lake Sanford
another, Erodium cicutarium is found on the main shore
of Oneida Lake at a place called Rotterdam town of [Constantia?} 
County of Oswego Not on an island in Oneida Lake - -

I found Panicum virgatum on the above mentioned island
I found it also on an island in Susquehana River and on Genesee [?]

There is an Erodium growing at the Dexter factory 3/4 mile
up the creek (Oriskany) which may be E. cicutarium or something else
It is perfectly naturalized & grows more thrifty than that at the
lake. I send you a specimen. there are also several
species of Medicago naturalized in like manner.
