 Report of the Botanist of New York State Museum of Natural 



History for the year 1 886. Chas. H. Peck. (40th Report N. V. 



State Mus. Nat. Hist. pp. 39-77). 



Mn Peck's report records many interesting facts, and we 

 regret that the publications of the Museum must be so long de- 

 layed, preventing the prompt announcement of his gathere 

 information. We note with satisfaction the continued growth ot 

 the State Herbarium, 104 species not previously represented 

 having been added to it and listed in this report, together with 

 numerous specimens of species already there. The great bulk 01 

 these are Fungi, contributed by Mr. Peck himself. The Antho- 

 phyta new to the collection are Genm macrophyllinn, from Lower 

 Ausable Pond, Adirondack Mountains (Peck); Lactuca Scariofa, 

 introduced, but apparendy well established in Clyde, Wayne Co. 

 (Peck); Mimtiliis moschatiis from Locust Valley and Amianthin^^^ 

 mnsca^toxicum from Valley Stream, Long Island, found by the 

 late Mr.Bisky and already noted by him in the BULLETIN ; Ju^^^^^^
