O , NEW YORK STATE MUSEUM 



Considerable progress has been made in the compilation of a list 

 of New York fungi, which will also include an arrangement accord- 

 'ing to the host plants whica Uiey mhaoit in tlie case of those 

 saprophytic and parasitic species which are found upon definite 

 hosts. 



Memoir on the Wild Flowers of New York. The photographic 

 work for this project was practically completed in 191 6, and during 

 the past year it was necessary^ to secure additional photographs of 

 only a few subjects. The manuscript was completed in 191 7 and 

 there remains now only the completion of the engraving and print- 

 ing. It is expected that this will be finished before the publication 

 of this report. The great amount of detail connected with this 

 undertaking has made it necessary to curtail to a large extent new 

 investigations of a scientific nature.
