Green-winged Teal, male and female, from Miss Hope Harris; 

 Blue-winged Teal, male and female, and Ring-necked Duck, 

 female, from Mr. Edward Simons. The Museum is particularly- 

 anxious to secure an extensive series of duck records and would 

 appreciate the privilege of examining specimens taken by sports- 

 men. Gifts of heads are very acceptable. 



LOCAL FLORA 



Dr. B. L. Robinson, Director of the Gray Herbarium, visited 

 Charleston last spring and did some collecting about the city, 

 Summerville and the Isle of Palms. With marked generosity 

 Dr. Robinson has recently sent to the Museum complete data 

 for all species collected by him and also for other specimens from 

 South Carolina in the Gray Herbarium, and further offers to 

 continue to list South Carolina specimens as they are discovered 

 in the Gray Herbarium. Dr. Robinson has contributed these 

 records in order to forward the publication of a work on the flora 

 of South Carolina for which Miss Bragg is now gathering data. 



The Museum has received a copy of The Plant Life of Harts- 

 ville, S. C, by Professor W. C. Coker of the University of North 

 Carolina. This work forms the most important recent contri- 

 bution to South Carolina botanical literature as well as the finest 

 account yet published of ecological work done within the state, 



A collection of pressed plants gathered about Pendleton, S. C, 

 during the summer of 1912, has been received from Miss Annie 

 L. Sloane. 



Miss Elizabeth P. Ravenel of Keowee, S. C. has recently given 

 valuable assistance in recording Dr. Robinson's South Carolina 

 records in the Museum's plant survey files. 



Miss Susie Allan and Miss Isabel 'Neill have most kindly 

 mounted a large number of specimens for the Museum herbarium.
