found. However, these plants in the Gray Herbarium 
did not give the Indian names nor the uses, although 
some of the species were identical with those in the col- 
lection under consideration. Later, in comparing certain 
loose specimens in this collection with the mounted spec- 
imens in the Gray Herbarium, labels with the following 
information were found: 
Indian Food Plants 
Hemenway Expedition to Hopi Country, 
N. Ek. Arizona, 1891. 
Coll. John G. Owens 
In addition to the above typewritten label, there is a 
small handwritten label which in writing and wording 
appears to be exactly like the label found with the loose 
material in the collection of plants under consideration. 
A further comparison of the labels on certain specimens in 
the Gray Herbarium indicates that the writing on these 
labels is similar to, if not identical with, that on all the 
labels for the collection here treated. There seems to be 
little doubt that the collection now under discussion is 
part of the J.G. Owens collection of Hopi foods and food 
reserves made in 1891 which is referred to by Fewkes and 
upon which he was preparing a memoir. 
In comparing the collection in hand with the pub- 
lished report of Fewkes (1), it was found that many of 
these species were reported by him. However, of the 
forty-four plant specimens in this collection which are 
reported by Fewkes, thirty-one of them have a use which 
is slightly or entirely different from that given by him. 
It was also discovered that in this group of plants all but 
six of the Hopi names recorded for them were slightly 
different in spelling from those recorded by Fewkes. 
These differences in use and the variations in the Hopi 
names suggest that all of the present collection was not 
used by Fewkes in the preparation of his article.
