Excerpt from A List of Plants Growing Without Cultivation in Franklin, Hampshire and Hampden Counties, Massachusetts Society and, in addition, we have consulted the herbaria of Mt. Hol yoke and Amherst Colleges, and the Knowlton herbarium of the Massachusetts Agricultural College. The mosses, liverworts, lichens, fungi and Characeae have been purposely omitted from this list. The list of lichens in Prof. Tuckerman's catalogue is one of the most complete and authentic published, but the list of fungi, Characeae, etc., contributed by Mr. Frost is of little value as it stands today, since much progress has been made in the study of these groups since his time.
