 and comparison. 



New Accessions.— The total number of herbarium specimens 

 received during the past year is considerably smaller than in 

 any one year for the last decade, owing to the fact that pur- 

 chases have been confined mainly to current series of exsiccati.

 of the late E. W. Hammond whose collections were made chief- 

 ly in southern Oregon and extended over a period of several 

 years. Other noteworthy accessions acquired since the last
