 the New York Botanical Garden 6: 77-85. 



Coker Dr. William C. Coker, botanist of the Bahamian expedition of 

 the Geographical Society of Baltimore, assisted by Messrs. C. A. 

 Shore and F. M. Hanes, collected in the summer of 1903 on the fol- 

 lowing islands: New Providence (1-193, 2 47~35> 55 : ) Andros Is- 

 land and Little and Great Mangrove Cays (194-234), Green Cay 

 (235-246), George's Island (306-317), Eleuthera (318-421), Cat Is- 

 land (422-437), Rum Cay (438-457), Watlings Island (458-491, 

 521, 528), Long Island (492-520, 524), Water Cay(523, 525), Abaco 

 (558-568, 575-6), and Elbow Cay (569-574). This collection was 

 deposited in the herbarium of the New York Botanical Garden, and 

 forms the basis of his "Vegetation of the Bahama Islands," in Shat- 

 tuck's "The Bahama Islands." Owing to the insufficiency of the 

 material secured many phanerogams therein published are based 

 upon provisional determination only. The cryptogams exist under a 

 separate series of numbers. 



Cooper Dr. William Cooper paid a visit to New Providence in 1859 for 

 the purpose of making dredgings for zoological material. While 

 there he collected in the neighborhood of Nassau about 100 plants for 

 his friend, Dr. John Torrey. The prime set of these plants is now 

 in the herbarium of the New York Botanical Garden. See Bull. Tor- 

 rey Club 1 7:190. 



Curtiss Mr. A. H. Curtiss collected his first series of " West Indian 

 Plants" in April, 1903, in the neighborhood of Nassau, New Provi- 

 dence. This series comprises numbers 1-211, of which the prime 

 set, with the unnumbered unicates, is deposited in the herbarium of 

 the New York Botanical Garden, and the first distributed set in the 

 herbarium of this Museum. 



Earle Prof. F. S. Earle collected during one day only, on New Provi- 

 dence (Nos. 1-79), while on his way to Cuba, in March, 1903. His 

 plants, largely from the vicinity of Nassau, are in the herbarium of 

 the Garden.
