652 EXPLOBATION AND COLLECTIONS. 



2415), South Bimini (2348-2368, 2379-85, 2387-98, 2406-2414), North 

 Bimini (2369-78, 2386, 2399-2405), South Cay (2416-2441). Again in 

 January, 1905, he collected in the following localities while awaiting the 

 arrival of Dr. Britton (see Britton & Millspaugh) ; Blue Hills road (2442- 

 44, 2461-81), Silver Cay (2445-2460), and South Side, Soldiers Eoad, Fort 

 Montague and Fort Fincastle (2482-2502). (See also Britton and Mills- 

 paugh, and Millspaugh and Millspaugh.) 



1904. Britton and Brace Dr. N. L. Britton, Mrs. E. G. Britton, and Mr. Lewis 

 J. K. Brace collected together on New Providence (nos. 159-328, 361-872), 

 and Hog Island (329-360), in September and October, 1904. They ranged 

 New Providence with great thoroughness, penetrating to the coast region 

 north, east, south and west, and to the coppices, pine barrens, and openings 

 in the neighborhood of Nassau, Fort Montague, Farringdon Boad, Swin- 

 gate, Maidenhead, Tea House, Eace Course, Delaport, Fox Hills, Village 

 Eoad, Mt. Vernon, Eifle Eange, Harold Eoad, Carmichael, Adelaide, South- 

 west Landing, Miller 's, Blue Hills, Soldiers Eoad, Lake Cunningham, Win- 

 ton, Old Fort, Waterloo, Clifton, Mt. Pleasant, Fort Charlotte, Gambier, 

 Killarney, Bonefish Pond, and Seven Hills. The commoner things were not 

 taken, the attempt being made to secure only such species as were pre- 

 viously unfamiliar or those which had only been gathered when out of 

 character. This survey resulted in 714 particularly interesting plants, 

 embracing the series of numbers indicated above. The prime set of these 

 collections is deposited in the herbarium of the New York Botanical 

 Garden, the duplicates in the herbarium of the Field Museum. 



An account of this expedition is published in the Journal of the New 

 York Botanical Garden 5: 201-209. 



1904, 1905, 1907. Dr. Marshall A. Howe, phycologist of the New York Botan- 

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

 accompanying C. F. Millspaugh on his first trip, and later the first expedi- 

 tion of Britton and Millspaugh. (See Jour. N. Y. Bot. Gar. 5: 129-136 

 and 6: 77-85.) In 1907 he accompanied Mr. Percy Wilson on the expe- 

 dition to the southern islands (see Wilson) whence he returned a large 

 amount of interesting and critical additional material. His large collection 

 of algae is deposited in the herbarium of the New York Botanical Garden. 



1904. Alex. E. Wight, under the patronage of the Gray Herbarium, Cambridge, 

 Mass., made a Bahamian collection of 281 numbers from December, 1904, 

 to May, 1905. He collected on New Providence and Hog Island (1-226 and 

 271-274), and on Andros at Mangrove Cay, Fresh Creek, Calabash Bay, 

 and Small Hope (227-270). The resulting plants were determined at the 

 Field Museum and the initial set retained (with the exception of about 

 six numbers in the Orehidaceae which are in the herbarium of Prof. Oakes 

 Ames). Duplicate sets have been deposited in the Gray Herbarium and the 

 herbarium of the New York Botanical Garden. 



1904. Geo. V. Nash and Norman Taylor, of the New York Botanical 

 Garden, were commissioned by the Garden, in October, 1904, to in- 

 vestigate the Inaguas. They made an exhaustive survey of the islands,
