About two weeks in midsummer Mr. Palmer spent in 
sorting and labeling the plants secured during the early part 
of the season. On September 1, collecting was resumed at 
Fulton and McNab, Arkansas, and continued at San Augus- 
tine, Beaumont, Fletcher, Houston, Liberty, Dayton, Living- 
ston, Palestine, Latexo, Grapeland, Blanco, San Marcos, 
Boerne, San Antonio, Pleasanton, Coraleta, Sabinal, Utopia, 
Comstock, Del Rio, Uvalde, Montell, Brownwood, Sweet- 
water, Big Spring, in Texas, and at Altus, Elk City, Snyder, 
and Muskogee, in Oklahoma. Thus a splendid representa- 
tion of both the vernal and autumnal flora was obtained. 
Although the season on the whole was an exceptionally 
dry one and collecting therefore more difficult than in the 
three years groecing, yet upwards of 10,000 specimens were 
obtained. These collections afford excellent material for 
scientific study, pain in tracing the geographical range 
of species and in throwing more light on many species about 
which very little at present is known. Seeds of a number of 
plants were secured, particularly of such plants as seem of 
special interest for growing in the garden. 
Distribution of Duplicates—A relatively small number 
of duplicate herbarium specimens has been distributed to 
correspondents during the year. However, 2,572 specimens 
have been forwarded chiefly to American institutions on 
the basis of exchange; and in return therefor several valuable 
series of plants have been received.
