REPORTS OF INVESTIGATIONS AND PROJECTS. 



Inheritance in Bvening-prinnoses. — Mr. R. R. Gates, of the University of 

 Chicago, was given some aid in the preparation of the illustrations for his 

 work on heredity in the evening-primroses. Seeds and material of hybrid 

 combinations made by Dr. MacDougal were turned over to him. 



Floristics of the Chiricahua Mountains. — Mr. J. C. Blumer, who has acted 

 as assistant at the Desert Laboratory during periods in 1907 and 1908, has 

 completed his survey of the flora of the Chiricahua Mountains, in southeast- 

 ern Arizona, and has distributed suites of preserved plants to many of the 

 principal herbaria of the world. The privileges of the Laboratory were 

 granted him for this purpose for several months in 1908. 



Observers on Evaporating Pozver of the Air. — Mutually advantageous ar- 

 rangements, whereby a series of standardized atmometers were put in the 

 hands of observers in various parts of the continent, were made by Messrs. 

 Livingston and Shreve. The fidelity, exactness, and sustained interest dis- 

 played in this investigation by all concerned render it a notably fine exhibition 

 of contribution of individual effort to the obtaining of data for the solution 

 of a general question. The following list includes the names of the coopera- 

 tors and shows the distribution of the stations in atmometric investigations
