Other plants identified included a mounted series of over 100 species from South Park 
School. These specimens, while not of full herbarium size, were exceedingly well prepared and 
reflect great credit on those pupils and teachers responsible for the work. <A large series of 
unmounted plants were identified for Happy Valley, Kingston Street, and other schools. 
Again this past season Miss M. Lawson, of the Colonist staff, undertook, for the benefit of — 
the children, the task of editing a Flower Calendar in the Sunday edition of the Daily Colonist 
of plants collected by children from yarious schools and districts. A large number of plants — 
were identified weekly, and a marked improvement in the condition of specimens sent in was 
noticeable over last year, especially among a few of those who were consistent in sending a 
series in every week. 
Mrs. Agnes Chase, Acting Systematic Agrostologist of the Bureau of Plant Industry, United 
States Department of Agriculture, Washington, D.C., very kindly examined and determined our 
collection of grasses, which is now revised under present nomenclature. This revision has 
added several species to the list of Vancouver Island flora, { 
In the latter part of the summer a ‘* Preliminary Catalogue of the Flora of Vancouver and 
Queen Charlotte Islands” was received from the hands of the printers, and copies have been 
distributed to most of the scientific institutes and colleges in America and other countries, and 
up to the present time we have received numerous applications for copies from teachers and 
others interested in botany, residing in many portions of this Province.
