INTRODUCTION. This catalogue has been published as a guide to the students of -Botany in Licking County. If it tends to stimulate a further interest in our local flora it will have served its purpose. Much is given which is of little interest to any one outside of the county, but it was thought best to gather together the scattered notes on the distribution, times of flowering, relative abundance, etc. It is hoped that some one in the future may complete the work begun by publishing a com plete flora of the county. Of necessity such a list as the following does not contain all of the species even in a limited district. Many of the townships have not even been visited, while an equal number have been only partially-explored. Granville, St. Albans, and New- ark townships have been the most thoroughly explored. The Licking River and Licking Reservoir have been visited frequently, but mostly during the months of July and August. Every effort has been taken to make the list of species as authentic as possible. All doubtful forms have been compared with the specimens in the Harvard Her- barium. The willows were identified by M. S. Bebb, Esq. and the sedges by Prof. W. C. Werner. The author wishes to thank all of those who have contributed in any way to this catalogue. HERBARIA. All the species herein yiven are represented by herbarium speci- mens, with the exception of three or four which are so marked. Un- less otherwise designated the specimens are to be found in the author’s herbarium. Specimens not in the author’s herbarium are to be found in the following: Herbarium of Dr. F. O.

The surface in gen- eral is level in the western part, hilly and rugged in the eastern, while in ,the central part the hills are lower and much less rugged than in the eastern. The drainage is toward the southeast, the Licking river with its tributaries practically draining the entire county. The only large body of water is the Licking Reservoir, a part of which is in this county. Only avery few of the original swamps now remain. The two principal swamps are the Cranberry Marsh near Utica and Pigeon Swamp, in the southwestern part of the county. Taking up in greater detail the geological nature of the soil, etc., we find that in the western part of the county the soil is. generally clay, with only a few exposures of rock, which is of a shaly nature. Along the streams we find a few deposits of the drift. In the central part the greatest diversity is to be found. ‘The valleys are here the broadest, with allu- vial deposits many feet in thickness. The hills are from a few feet to over an hundred in height. On the top of these the soil is a fine sand with the broken fragments of the native sandstone rock lying imbed- ded in it. ‘ The impurity of this sandstone makes the soil more fertile than it would: otherwise be. ; , \ 6 BULLETIN’ OF THE LABORATORIES The river terraces are composed of glacial drift. This drift is generally composed of sand or gravel, the gravel being of a varied composition. Granite, diabase, diorite, schists, slates, and limestone are a few of its components. It is on these wooded terraces that the flora is the most varied. One hundred and twenty-five species have been collected from a space only forty feet square, (Maple Grove Cemetery, Granville.) In the eastern part the hills are still higher, the native rock being a coarse sandstone or, sandstone conglomerate. This sandstone weathers very slowly. In consequence of this the soil is scant, the valleys narrow and in many places simply gorges. The strata of the county are referred to the Waverly and: Carboniferous, the latter occurring only in the eastern part. The southern part is low and covered to a depth of many feet with an alluvial deposit. Formerly a greater part was covered by swamp.* - ALTITUDES OF DIFFERENT POINTS. Hartford, 1160 feet. Alexandria, 950 feet. Granville, 906 feet, at depot. Hebron, 885 feet. Jacksontown, 1075 feet. ee 1235 feet, hill south of town. Newark, 791 feet. RAINFALL, TEMPERATURE, Etc. The meteorological dbsewations have been so scattered that it is impossible to give more than approximate data. The rainfall averages about 40 inches a year. The least which has been recorded, is 24.89 in 1856, the greatest 61.51 in 1852. The average of the different months is about the same. The highest temperature recorded is 94.5 deg.; the lowest tempera- ture recorded is 18 deg. below zero. The prevailing winds are from the west. The goth parallel of latitude runs through the southern portion of the county. *Only a general sketch is here given of the main features of the geological structure of the county. A complete description has been given by Prof, GIs. Herrick, in the preceeding volumes of this Bulletin. s OF DENISON UNIVERSITY. Sg A List or THE Worsr WEEDs.

A record’ has been kept for the last three years of the plants which bloom late in the fall and early in the spring. The large per cent. of introduced species which blossom in the fall i is noticeable, while the early spring plants are generally native. The following figures are fairly accurate for the number which bloom in the vicinity of Granville: In November, 44 species, 17 native, 27 introduced. ie ‘* December, 11 2 9 ‘* January, 14 ee 8 et 6 nt ‘« February. 9 2 7 ae 32 : ‘© March, 17 “14 OS 1 ec8 7 8 BULLETIN OF THE LABORATORIES The number in flower before July rst, is about 530. The number in flower during the ‘‘Spring Term” of Denison University is over 500. The number of so-called spring flowers found in blossom in the fall or early winter, 10. TREES. The number of woody plants is about 165. The number of trees (in the ordinary usage of the term) is about 88. The ten most common trees are probably the following: Fagus ferruginea Ait. Beech. Acer saccharinum Wang. Sugar Maple. Elmus Americana L. White Elm. Fraxinus Americana L. » White Ash. Quercus alba L. White Oak. ‘¢ macrocarpa Michx. Bur Oak. ‘¢ “rubra L. Red Oak. ‘¢ coccinea Wang.

It is hoped that students of Botany will find it more easy to-dis- cover the rare plants of our county by the aid of the following table. The best botanizing localities known to the author are here given. The localities within easy access of Granville are first given and they are also given in greater detail. The numbers correspond to the num- bers on the map which is to be found in the back part of the catalogue. (1.) Arbutus Ridge. One mile southeast of Granville, near the rail- road bridge over the Racoon Creek. It is also reached from Centre- ville Street by Clouse’s Lane. (2.) Spring Valley. One mile south of Granville, between Lancas- ter and Columbus roads but nearer, Columbus road. When this is re- ferred to in the text, both the small swamp, which is near the opening of the valley, and the sides of the valley are meant. (3-) Maple Grove Cemetery, Granville. The bank in the south- east corner next to the T. & O. C. R. R. is the portion which, is of special interest. More species occur here than in any other portion of the county of ten times its area. (4.) Everett’s Swamp. Two miles west of Granville near,the Wor- thington road a few rods south of the Worthington bridge. OF DENISON UNIVERSITY. 9 (5.) The Gravel Pit. This is a local name given by the students to designate the bank which is situated ‘two miles west of Granville on the T. & O. C. R. R. and about half a mile east of Clemons’ Station. It is just north of the track at its first curve after leaving Granville. (6.) Woods on the farms of M. J. Williams and S. J. Everett. These are located on the ridge which runs parallel to Racoon Creek and about a quarter of a mile south of it. They are about a mile and a half southwest of Granville’ and end about half a mile south of Sta- tion 4. Some of our rarest plants are to be found here. (7.) Granger’s Swamp. This is the largest body of water in Granville township. It is about two and a half miles northwest of Granville between Burg and Loudon Streets. (8.) Woods about a half a mile northeast of the house of Mr. W. A. Castle. These woods are about two miles northwest of Alexandria. They contain several species which have not been found elsewhere. (9.) Welsh Hills. These lie immediately north of Granville. All of the northeastern portion of the township is thus designated. (t0.) Woods now owned by Mrs. Roderick Jones. These lie abeut two miles northeast of Granville and directly north of the Fort Hill farm. ({t1.) Goodrich’s woods, College woods, Miller’s Glen and woods north of Alligator Hill are of easy access to Granville and for general collecting are very good. (t2.) Spruce Hill. , About three miles northeast of Granville on Brushy Fork road, about on the dividing line between Granville and Newton townships. (13.) Pine Hill. One half mile due-east from Vanattasburg, east bank of creek. Many rare species here. (14.) Rain Rock or Raining Rock. In Eden township about twelve miles north of Newark. (15.) Laurel Ridge. This can most easily be reached from New- ark by going south on-Second Street across the creek to Summit Street. The ridge is about a mile from the corner of Second and Summit. The continuation of Summit Street runs along its base. -(16.) A narrow gorge about a mile south of the above, is to be reached by going south on the continuation of Second Street, Newark, to the first fork in the road, taking the left hand road a second fork is soon met with. This time take the right hand road. About a half a mile from this is the gorge, on the left hand side of the road. This 10 i BULLETIN OF THE LABORATORIES is an important point, as many species found here have not been found elsewhere. It is the best point for ferns in the central part of the county. (17.) Toboso or Black Hand. A small town on the B. & O. R. R., in the eastern part of the county. Red Rock, Black Hand Rock and the bluffs just opposite these contain many very rare species. The banks of the Licking River also afford some species not discov- ered elsewhere. (18.) Licking Reservoir. A body of water.about ten miles Jong and from half a inile to a mile wide. It is situated in Licking, Perry and Fairfield counties. For convenience all species growing in the Reservoir are here listed, as it is impossible to tell on which side of the boundary lines the collecting has been done. The following parts of the Reservoir will be found to be about the best collecting places : Lieb’s Island, in the southern part of the New Reservoir. Cranberry Marsh in the Old Reservoir, near the northern bank, about mid way between Lakeside and Avondale. Many of the islands in the Old Reservoir are also very good col- lecting places.
