230 CONTRIBUTIONS FROM THE NATIONAL HERBARIUM. 



specimens in monographs have been included. Articles dealing 

 with plant distribution or ecology in the Southwest are mentioned 

 whenever they are considered applicable to New Mexico. Publi- 

 cations upon economic botany have been cited in every case where 

 found. No attempt has been made to complete the bibliography 

 of the lower cryptogams; little is known of these in the Southwest. 

 This bibliography was prepared originally from the botanical 

 library of the New Mexico Agricultural College, but at the National 

 Herbarium several titles have been added. Some have been over- 

 looked, no doubt. Most of the works listed are accessible in any 

 good botanical library, but there have been included a few unpub- 

 lished theses prepared by students of the Agricultural College and 

 preserved in the library of that institution. Some of these are 

 papers of considerable value.
