The Portland Society of Natural History publishes this second edition of its "Catalogue of Maine Plants" with a two-fold object. First, it is desirable as showing the progress that has been made since the date of its first publication in 1868, in the dis- covery of plants not then known to exist within the limits of the state. Second, it is intended to be an introduction to a much more annotated list of plants which, it is hoped, may be published within a few years. This Catalogue of the future is intended to contain every known species and distinct variety of both Phaenogamous and Cryptogamous Plants positively known to occur in the State. Each species will be carefully worked up, and, when not found in all sections, will, with its authentic locality be duly credited to its observer. With this understanding and intention, it is earnestly desired that every botanist who has made explorations and collections in Maine should report the occurrence, within the limits of his observation, both of all plants recorded in this list and especially of those not yet placed there, and which may prove to be new discoveries. It is also very desirable, whenever possible, that specimens, in order to secure positive identification, be forwarded to the Portland Society of Natural History, or to the under- PROCEEDINGS P. S.

There has been as yet so little attention paid in Maine to the Cellular Cryptogams, that it is considered feasible in this prelim- inary work to omit these sections entirely, for if enumerated they would add many hundreds to our Catalogue. There is no more ample field for work or discovery in Maine that can be presented to a diligent and observing student, than the collection and criti- cal study of Mosses, HepaticaB, Fungi, etc. It is hoped that in the near future merited attention will be paid to these Flower- less Plants. In compiling this Catalogue my chief source of information has been, of course, the original "Portland Catalogue," so carefully prepared by Prof. Geo. L. Goodale and the late Rev. Joseph Blake. The facts there recorded have been supplemented by notes from seventy or more collectors, prominent among whom may be mentioned Prof. G. L. Goodale, Prof. F. Lamson Scribner, Rev. Joseph Blake, Miss Kate Furbish, Mr. Edward L. Rand, Mr. John H. Redfield, Mr. C. E. Smith, Mr. John A. Allen, and Mr. John C. Parlin, to which are added the collections of the author. It may not be out of place for me here to publicly express my appreciation of all the help rendered by my many correspondents, and to ask that in the future they will aid in making this under- taking a success, by continuing the interest of the past. I have followed Bentham and Hooker's Genera Plantarum in the arrangement of Orders and Genera. While in the case of the class Gymnospermce, it would perhaps have been well to fol- low the more natural system of placing it between the Mono- cotyledonoe and the Pteridopliyta, yet it has been thought better to follow closely the sequence adopted by Gray. So also the names in some cases might have been changed with advantage, but it was decided to follow the nomenclature of the Fernald: Plants of Maine. 43 6th edition of Gray's Manual of the Botany of the Northern United States. As usual in lists of this sort, it has been difficult to draw a definite line between the' plants of foreign origin which have become fixed in our flora, and those which are only spontaneous to a slight extent. While some which might well be placed with the latter group have been included, yet nearly all are perma- nently established in our soil. The names of those plants which have been introduced are printed in italics to distinguish from the indigenous, and those supposed to be indigenous. All names in the list marked * are reported as generally dis- tributed ; so any information whatever in regard to those which are unmarked is desirable. Those marked f are not common along the seaboard, so we wish stations for these near the coast. All marked — are generally found along the coast, so stations inland are of interest. Plants marked || are abundant only on the mountains, so we shall be glad to know of stations at low altitudes. All marked ? are not positively known to us to occur in the state, but their occurrence within its limits is claimed by good authority. Any information whatever of value in making up the pro- posed extended work, will be gratefully received. MERRITT LYNDON FERNALD. CAMBRIDGE, MASS., APRIL 13, 1892. 44 Proceedings Port. Soc. Nat.
