I have been greatly assisted in my work by the members of my 

 family and by Rev. Wolters of jNIidland, Mr. Lawaetz of Little La 

 Grange, Mr. Frank Lindquist of Bassin, Rev. A. B. Romig of West 

 End, and many others. In St. Thomas, Rev. Greider was my host. 

 In the preparation of my notes and manuscript I have had the tire- 

 less assistance of my wife. 



THE LIST. 



.\s noted above, this list has been arranged upon the basis of the 

 species reported from St. Croix in Baron Eggers' " Flora of St. Croix 

 and the A'irgin Islands," published in 1879. The species not in Baron 

 Eggers' work are printed here in black faced type ; those that are 

 found in both the Ricksecker collections and Baron Eggers' list 

 appear in small capitals: those in Baron Eggers' list not appearing 

 in the Ricksecker collections are inclosed in brackets [ ]. 



Under each species the collecting numbers of Mr. A. E. Rick- 

 secker's plants appear in parentheses (267) without other designation, 

 while those of ]\Irs. Ricksecker are designated (Mrs. R. 267). The 

 number after the species enclosed in brackets and following Baron 

 Eggers' name refers to the consecutive numbering of the species in 

 his list. 



The Rickseckerian collections contain a large number of plants 

 of cultivation, but as these so often become in time adventive or 

 escape to wide localities, it is considered advisable to include them 

 in the list.
