Bay, on account of the weather, so that my work for the season was 
now practically closed. 
The total number of specimens collected during the summer was 
about 3,000, representing 154 different species. 
The work of the coast survey parties having been completed, the 
Hassler called in at Yakutat on September 3, and the next day started 
on her return to San Francisco. On account of a delay at Sitka and 
continued unfavorable weather, the vessel did not reach Port Townsend 
until October 3, 1892, As the time of the ship’s departure for San 
Francisco from this port was uncertain, I left the vessel here and pro- 
ceeded east. 
In closing, I wish to acknowledge my indebtedness to Captain 
Harber and other officers of the Hassler, and to Messrs. McGrath and 
Turner, of the United States Coast and Geodetic Survey, all of whom 
took a lively interest in my work and aided me in many ways.
