There were 2025 species reported in the Fourth State Catalogue 

 (1899) for the State of Ohio. This number was supposed to be approx- 

 imately correct, since those of previous lists were discarded which 

 are known to have been erroneously identified or were unquestiona- 

 bly beyond our range. In the First Annual Supplement sixty-nine 

 additions were made, and in Additions to the Ohio^Flora, (O. S. U. 

 Naturalist, 1:15) twenty-two more were recorded. Therefore those 

 enumerated above bring our grand total to 2128 sj^ecies of Pteri- 

 dophytes and Spermatophytes.
