FEB., 1906. PR^NUNC. BAHAM. MILLSPAUGH. 141 



E. G. B. Mrs. N. L. Britton, often accompanied by Mr. Brace, visited, 

 in April and May, 1905, all those stations on New Providence pre- 

 viously collected by Britton & Brace, at which it had become desir- 

 able to secure additional material of interesting plants or characters 

 missing on previous notable species. In addition to achieving 

 marked success in this undertaking, she secured many other plants 

 of particular interest. Her survey resulted in 310 sheets (Nos. 

 3141-3460), and is mentioned in the Journal of the -New York Bo- 

 tanical Garden 5:129-136. See also Britton & Brace. 



Hitchcock Dr. J. T. Rothrock and Prof. Albert S. Hitchcock collected 

 in the Bahamas in November and December, 1890. The collections 

 were largely made by Prof. Hitchcock on New Providence, Eleuthera, 

 Cat, Watlings, Crooked, Fortune, and Inagua, and form the basis 

 of his "Plants collected in the Bahamas," etc. The material collect- 

 ed was deposited in the herbarium of the Missouri Botanical Gar- 

 den, from which, through the kindness of the director, Dr. William 

 Trelease, the author has been allowed to reassemble the sheets. The 

 collection, embracing about 600 sheets, is at this writing a loan to 

 the Field Columbian Museum. 



Howe Dr. Marshall A. Howe, algologist of the New York Botanical 

 Garden, has collected extensively the sea vegetation of the Bahamas, 

 accompanying Dr. Britton and the author on their first trip, and 

 later, Britton & Millspaugh. He also accompanied the author u,p- 

 on the Bimini explorations. See Journal New York Botanical Gar- 

 den 5:i29-i~36 and 6:77-85. 



Millsp. C. F. Millspaugh the author began his collections among 

 the islands on New Providence, in April, 1904, in company with Dr. 

 Britton (see Britton), visiting substantially the same stations, where, 

 as his collecting was to extend to other islands, each kept his indi- 

 vidual series of numerals. He collected at the following localities: 

 Blue Hills (2048-2100), South Shore (2101-2151 and 2262-2277), 

 West Bay Street road (2152-2178), pine barrens and hammock lands 

 along Lake Cunningham road ^2179-2217), region of Lake Cun- 

 ningham (2218-2244), Farringdon Road (2245-7), Swingate (2248- 

 51), Old Fort (2252-4), and Waterloo (2255-61). Then hiring and 

 commissioning a sloop, he sailed in company with Dr. M. A. Howe (see 

 Howe) for an investigation of the Bimini Islands, collecting at the 

 following stations: West End Bight, New Providence (2278-2293), 

 Joulter's Cays (2294-2304), Gun Cay (2305-2328), North Cat Cay 

 (2329-2347, 2415), South Bimini (2348-2368, 2379-85, 2387-98,
