80 PROCEEDINGS OF THE ACADEMY OP [1884. 



• In making the catalogue I have followed the example set by 

 Mr. Watson, in the Bibliographical Index ; a general view of the 

 relation of the species to each other is furnished by the natural 

 orders in systematic sequence — all the rest is alphabetical. In 

 a sj'stematic work on botany, an alphabetical index appears at 

 the end. A catalogue should be itself an index, as its chief use 

 is for reference and not for systematic study.

 Aconitum napellus Linn, Harrisburg, Alask^. 

 Actsea spicata, var. arguta Watson. Pyramid Harbor, Alaska. 

 Aquilegia formosa Fiscb. Harrisburg, Alaska.

Seen also at Sitka and many places through Alaska, but 

 very seldom could I find fruit. The fine specimens from Fort 

 Wrangel were the only good ones found, and I had to look a 

 long time there among the plants before any were seen.
