tlu' iliHiciiltii's at pre>ent in the way. of a systematic arrangement of tlie species of 

 this gronp, because of the uncertainties in regard to the position of certain forms, 

 Mr. Moore very carefully identitied and preserved about twenty species. This 

 Ti'presents a very small nuinber of the forms studied, and as the work is now 

 being continued by him under Dr. Farlow's direction at Cambridge, it is expected 

 that some substantial record may be made to this part of our flora. 



Tlie list ot parasitic fungi reported from our vicinity has been increased l)y 

 Mr. Olive, much of it during the class work in this subject, until we now have 

 IT'i species and 2o0 hosts, twenty-seven sj^ecies and forty-three hosts being new to 

 tlie list published in the proceedings of last year. A boil t forty species yet remain 

 t(i be determined. 



Work in the phanerogaujs has i)een continued and "204 species added to our 

 local list. These do not include timsc in the report nf Mr. Gentry on trees and 

 shrubs. 



The local list of pteridoj)hytes now amounts to nineteen. We are yet far from 

 the desired condition, but yearly additions are giving us better insighl into our 

 flora and enabling us to work to far lietter advantage than heretofore.
