Two new fern-forms ought to be fund and are to be seught
for within cur limits. Ono, @ hybrid between Aspidium marginale
and Aspidium ecristatum is to be locked for in the same locality
with these two species, and may be deseribed briefly as a form oF
cristatum with .the long acuminate upper pinnae and rootstock of
marginale. The other is intermediate hetwoon Aspidive
Thelypteris and Aspidium Nova+boracenss, and has apparently u..-
ready been collectcd once--a singlo frond only~~ somewhere near
Bear Hill in Stoneham by the late E. Hy Hitchings. it has the
toxture andi venation of Nova-beracense but the lower pinnae are
scarcely shurter than those of Tholyptoris.

These and cthor forms may reward a diligent searcher.

Por collecting nothing can be better than a portfolio filled
with cold soft nowspapers interspersed with sheets of Plain soft
white paper for aclicate plants between which the spocimen sheuld
»e carefully arranged with a ticket on which shonld be written at
the time of collecting, the date, loeslity, character of loeality,
characteristies of the plant, abundant cr otherwise, with sueh
information as may help detormine oxt4nt of distribution, or one

Mx. Frank S. Cellins Maiden, Masse, has consented to take
charge ef the special werk on the following family:

ALGAE

Collectors may send specimens to him for determination and
preservation and all communications ecoencerning such specimens and
this family may be addressed te him 97 Dexter street, Malden.
ULtimately all observatiens en this family will be placed in his
hands so that he may prepare the report upon it;

nisl Coilins has Preaperey the following suggestions for
coklectorsi-

Algae are to be found wherever there is meisture; on wet
rocks, moist ground; even en the berk of trees; but much the larger
number of species actually under water. In early svring, runing
breoks are the most promising localities; later in the scasen, @
mere abundant florae will be feund in pends. In still water, leoss
floating masses of varying shades of green are found; Ly She
oractised collestor can gistinguish the different kinds at sight,

n then only vaguely, careful micrerxgcopic examinatien is

1 fer their determination.

Other species will be found ferming fringes on various ebjects

? oe ete., these are generally different from the

ely flos ting forms. Others grow on stenes, often as a dense
gemetimes as scattered gelatinous masses, from almost
le. size te half an inch in diameter; celor varying from
zyreen.to almost biack,
in Hot weather petit ie onl @seum ig often formed en pends, scn-
isting of ineeneeivable numbers of. extremely minute algeae. Wet
met especially bres n facing the North, or so sheltered as net te
be exposed to the sunshine, often have in places a gelstinous
coating, consisting cf algae, usually of the lower type

These different algae require different kinds of troatment
fer preservation as specimeus;.but it is a universal rule that fer
purpeses of study and identification, fresh matorial is mueh better
than any preparation.

Nearly all fresh water slgae will keep in fair econdition
for a day cor two if put in clean water; a small bettie can be sent
by mail if securely elesed and paeked in a tiu cr woeden box; Gr a
email bleck ef woed ean be used, a reund hole bered in it te just
admit the bettle, the mouth of the hele elosed by a eork; this
bleek can be mailed without packing.

Where sending this way would take so muek time that the
materia) would prceably spoil, instead of water use a mixture of
equal parts of wator and alevhel; this destreys the colcr, but
preserves the structure fur examination at any time

Species belonging to the Nostoeacene, using this word with
the same extension as in the "Middlesex Flora", ean be examined
quite well aftor boing dried in a thin layer on paper or mica; but
such herberitm spceimouns of other algae are generally unsatisfactory
the shape of the cell and the arrangement of its contents being
much changed in drying. I¢ is well, however, to havo such speci-

ens in addition to fresh cr elcohol material.

Sterile speeimens of speeiee of Vausheria, Ocdogeniacene
and Conjugata generally are worthless for determination, butit is
always difficult, often impossible to tell whether a plant is in
fruit except by microscopic examination. It may be noted however
that usually ths plant in its vegetative (sterile) eonditien is
of a deeper and richer green, and is generally a handscmer object
than in the fruiting condition. As it is so difficult to tell what
is and what is not cf value, the safest way, in case of doubt, is
to collect tcc much rather than too little.

Algae growing on moist and dripping roeks shculd be carefully
scraped off with a knife, they are usually of kinds that can be
preserved te advantage cn paper or mies.

Every specimen sheaulda be accompanied by a record ef the
name of the ccllector, and of the exast loeality and date cf
collection; the characicr ef the etaticn shculd also be indiceted,
fur instance; clear running brook; dripping reek; swamp; bark of
white vak; ete., etce

METROPOLITAN RESERVATIONS FLORA,

Dr. Chas. W. Swan, No. 79 Worcester, St. Boston, Mass., has con-
sented to take charge of the special work on the following families:-
Juncaceae Rush Family
Cyperaceae Sedge Family
Graminaae Grass Family

Collectors may send specimens to him for determination and pres=
ervation and all communications concerning such famkkiex specimens
and these families may be addressed to him. Ultimately all observa-
tions on these families will be placed in his hands so that he may
prepare the report upon them.

Dr. Swan has prepared the following suggestions for collectors:-

Grassés should be collected in flower; sedges and rushes in
fruit, and all with roots or rootstocks except in the case of heavy
tussocks when the entire culm will suffice, Over-ripe specimens
may be collected additionally for perfect fruit.

The best method is to collect in moderately thin folded sheets
in the portfolio, and several specimens of a kind should be preserved
If the sheets are too thin their flacidity makes difficult h

handling, and handling is further facilitated by a Single stiff

sheet which marks the place of deposit of the last fillea sheet, and
is drawn from under and placed upon each accession, the process being
begun at the back of the book. Some attempt should be made at ar-=
rangement having in view the size of an herbarium sheet (114 x 16}
inches ), and the leaves should be laid as flat as possible. Driers
in the portfolio are injurious, as they take up moisture before pres-
sure and are liable to cause shrivelling. The portfolio should be
treated not as a press, but as a vasculum. Plants should be trans=-
ferred in the original sheets to driers and moderate pressure on the
evening of the day of collection, and so ultimately dried before
being sent to the curator,

Upon the sheet containing each plant should be written the date
of collection, name of collector, precise geographical locality, geo-
logical characteristics, nature of the soil, whether high or low,
dry, moist or submersed, rocky, sandy, loamy or peaty, by human habi-
tation or far from them, by roadsides or in fields, in sun or shade
or depth of forest, frequency of occurence, whether solitary or with
fellows, mode of occurence, whether tufted or individually, and rem
marks may be made upon the association of the species.

It is not expected that the collector shall be burdened with all
these details in every instance, but that he shall give such of them
as he is conveniently able to do as varietal differences frequently
depend upon habitat. Plants may also be sent unprepared in a moist
box when time presses or at the choice of the collector. When other
means are not at hand, specimens may be placed in the folds of a

dampened newspaper which should then be folded or rolled for con-
venient mailing and sent promptly.

Identification will be furnished, not always at once, if dif-
ficult, to those desiring their contributions named, If the amount
of material sent in should prove very large, detailed work upon it
may have to be deferred till the collecting season is over,

BrRooK.Line, Mass. May, 25, 1894,

Dear diese By direction of Messrs. Olmsted, Olmsted &
Eliot, Landscape Architects to the Metropolitan Park Commission, I
am collecting the material for a forest survey, flora and fauna of
the Blue Hills, Middlesex Fells, Stony Brook and Beaver Brook reser=
vations. You have kindly offered to assist in the preparation of
the flora and I am sending with this a set of maps of the above re~
servations and a permit to collect.

To secure uniformity, brevity and economy of space, abbrevia-
tions indicating the following terms are recommended to be used:-
Cc. common; f. frequent; 0. occasional; r. rare.

It is understood that the terms are to have the following meaning
when used in referring to plants.

Common (c) having a nearly even distribution over all surfaces of a
similar character, within the area specified.

Frequent (f) found frequently in masses or as individual plants but
not evenly distributed over surfaces of a similar character within
the area specified.

Occasional (0) found only occasionally in different parts of the
reservation where the conditions are favorable.

Rare(r) found only in one or a few places within the reservation.

If a plant is commom (c),frequent (f) or occasional~o) through
the area referred to, where the conditions are favorable, nothing m
more than the abbreviation an and indication of the locality will
be required. If it is common in one locality and not in another this
should be specified. The locality for rare plants should be speci-

fied ( not necessarily for publication).

The maps are marked with 500 foot squares and reference letters

and numbers which can be used to locate the position of the area

occupied by a plant approximately if it cannot be indicated briefly
by reference to the topographical features. Usually, localities
and areas can be identified by referring to well known features
which are indicated on the plan ( or which should be added to it),
together with with the abbreviations for the points of the compass,
N., S.? E., W., ete. For example, “throughout valley " between
certain hills, or along a certain stream, or on the W, slope of a
certain ill ,etc.

It will be the aim to include in the flora all plants that are
now growing, or that are known to have been found growing, within
the reservations, including adventives. The history of exterminated
and adventive plants with authorities for the same, and a reference
to an existing plant in some herbarium should be given if possible.

It is desirable that herbarium specimens shall be preserved of
all the plants found growing in the reservations, and it is deemed
essential that specimens of rare plants or those that run any chance
of being exterminated shall be preserved.

Mr. N. T. Kidder of Milton, Mass., has very kindly offered to
preserve the identity of specimens from the Blue Hills and Stony
Brook reservations, and to care for them in his herbarium which will
ultimately be deposited with some well established society,

Mr. Frank S. Collin of Malden, Mass., who is the custodian of the
Middlesex Institute warhartinn. on which the Middlesex Flora is based
has kindly consented to preserve the identity of species from the .

Fells and Beaver Brook reservations and to place them in this her-

barium,

3.

The importance and value of the flora which it is proposed to
prepare will be recognized when it is understood that it is to be
made in connection with a study of the soil and rock formation and
geological history of the areas included as well as the forest con=
ditions and the fauna.

In the forest study the distribution, character and condition
of the forest trees and ground cover, and the natural and artificial
influences and conditions that are repponsible for this distribution
and condition are to be considered and from the information thus
gained it is to be determined how best to manage the material on
the grounds so that Nature will be assisted in the restoration of a
permanently good and attractive forest and ground cover,

Any information as to the flora will have a direct bearing upon
this study. It should be distinctly the purpose in all these obser-
vations and notes on whatever lines directed, to determine as accura
tely as possible the present condition of and the present life and
its distribution on the reservations, and the reasons for this con-

dition and distribution so that a comparisom may be made in the

years to come to determine how far an intelligent effort to prevent

the destruction of Nature's work will have changed the character
and present distribution, and added to the life upon these areas,
and also to study the directions and the reasons for any such changes
that may take place.
With all this in view it will be desirable that particulars
like the following shall be noted in connection with the preparation

of the flora.

4.

Is a plant increasing or decreasing in numbers ? If so, why ?

If a plant known to have been growing in previous years has
been exterminated, state year of extermination and cause of same.

How and in what year were adventive or introduced plants braught
in ?

Make note of plants found in unnatural,conditions as to soil or
situation with apparent reason for seme,

Do certain plants appear periodically with an interval of more

than one year.

~

Note abnormal forms of any plants and their constancy.

Note year and season of any fires, cuttings or clearings in any
part of reservations and the dates when any cultivated or pasture
lands were abandoned; also when and where home settlements were made
and when they were abandoned, etc.etc,

The value of the proposed flora and fauna of the Metropolitan
Park Reservations will be much enhanced if reports, notes and lists
pertaining to the various branches are prepared by specialists and
if there is at the same time an understanding among the naturalists
who assist in the undertaking that specimens and notes pertaining to
such special work are to be sent to the individual in charge of it.

By such an arrangement the work can be better organized for thos
assisting will be more likely to concentrate their efforts upon the
lines of work they were best prepared to undertake. They can, at
the same time, collect an forward specimens and notes pertaining to
the work of the specialists which would not otherwise be collected if

they could not be thus definately disposed of to advantage. This

< 5.
would give general collectors an opportunity to add to tkeir knowl-
edge and they would thus secure credit for the collection of speci-
mens which they would not ordinarily secure, and the specialists
would be able to secure more assistance, more material and better
results. Such an arrangement would also permit of the separation
and publication of such special reports for distribution independent-
ly of the Park Commissioners’ reports if it was deemed to be advisa-
ble.

There will be sent to all who are to collect specimens and
notes the names of those who are willing to undertake such special
work, and these specialists will be asked to prepare brief instruc-
tions for collecting specimens to guide those who are to assist them.

Ovcasional meetings of those who are directly connected with
the work will be called for reports of progress, for discussion and
for exchange of specimens and notes.

I shall be much pleased to receive any suggestions that will

facilitate, or in any way improve the work proposed,

It is hoped that it will be possible to bring together enough

information within a year to prepare a preliminary list of phants.
Any assistance will be fully appreciated and every effort will

be made to so conduct the work and to secure such results that those

taking part will secure an adequate return for the time devoted to

the work.

Yours truly,

FREDERICK LAW OLMSTED. JOHN CHARLES OLMSTED. CHARLES ELIOT.

METROPOLITAN RESERVATIONS FLORA,

Meeting at Beaver Brook reservation May, 26, 1894,

Mrs. P. D. Richards, Miss C. M. Endicott, Messrs N, T. Kidder,
Chas. W. Swan, Wm. FP. Rich, ZT. 0. Fuller, EK. L. Rand, ¥F. Ss. Collins,
L. L. Dame, S. Burrage, G. L. Chandler, Chas. Eliot, H. Horten, W.
H, Manning were present.

A statement as to the extent of the reservations that had been
taken, the intention of the Commission with reference to their main-
tenance, and remarks as to the maps showing the topography, roads
and paths and the preliminary lists pertaining to the Flora and
Fauna which it is intended to include in the next annual Report of
the Commission were made by Mr. Eliot.

It was suggested that notes on the cards be turned in as they
were made from time to time without attempting to correct repititioms
or to re-write, leaving this to be done by the editors.. This is a
matter however that would be governed by the preferences of each
botanist.

It was decidedly the sentiments of the majority of those pres=
ent that it was best to have in view the ultimate preparation of a
complete herbarium of the plants growing in each of the reservations.

Those present occupied themselves in botanizing within the re-
servation.

In view of the decision that it was advisable to make complete
collections, it seems best that each one taking part in this work
should give their especial attention to and be responsible for the
collection of the members of a family or families, until they are
all assigned. In this way the collection of many duplicates will
be avoided, :

It is expected that all collectors will send specimens of, or
call attention to rare plants in any family, to those who may have
the family in charge.

At present the following assignments have been made and accep t-
ed,
Equisetaceae
Filices
Lycopodiaceae = -----------~---- Mr. Geo. E. Davenport,
Isoeteae 67 Valley St. Medford, Mass.
Marsiliaceae

I would be obliged if each one to whom this is addressed who
has not already offered to be responsible for special work would in«
dicate families which they are willing to give their special attenton
to.

Yours truly,

N. B. The following abbreviations are recommended for use:-

Will you please complete your metropolitan Flsra notes
at an early date on one of the sets of cards, if you hav? one,
and forward to me. Those who have not yet been supplied with cards
Will receive them as goon as sets are turned in.
If there are notes of locnlities that you would prefer not
to have gemerally known, please place a red ink cross ir the right
and upper cerner of the card or note and I will sees that they are
not distributed.
If it is casier fer you to turn in your notes in manuscript
do so and they will bo transferred to eards here,
It is proposed to gompile a preliminary manuscript list to
