10 TWELFTH ANNUAL KEPORT. 



including also a considerable number from the southwest part of 

 the state. Many specimens collected in Blue Earth county, and 

 others from Dakota and Montana, have been donated by Mr. Lei- 

 berg to the State Museum. A list of about 500 species, observed 

 chiefly in the vicinity of Minneapolis by the Young Naturalists' 

 Club, was communicated by Mr. Thomas S. Roberts, by whom 

 nearly all these species were determined, others being by Clarence 

 L. Herrick, F. S. Griswold, and R. S. Williams. I am also indebted 

 to Mr. Roberts for much further assistance in the preparation of 

 the following catalogue. Manuscript lists, to which references are 

 frequently made in stating the geographic range of species or local- 

 ities of rare or local plants, were received from Mr. George B. Aiton, 

 of Owatonna; Miss Franc E. Babbitt, of Little Falls; Miss F. S. 

 Beane, of Faribault; Mrs. C. H. Bennett, of Pipestone City; Mrs. 

 A. C. Blaisdell, of Saint Cloud; Mr. and Mrs. C. W. Blake, of Can- 

 non River Falls; Miss Eloise Butler, of Minneapolis; Rev. E. V.

 neapolis; Mrs. E. H. Terry, of Saint Paul; and Prof. N. H. Win- 

 chell, of Minneapolis. Many observations in respect to the relative 

 abundance and geographic range of species have been also noted 

 by the writer during explorations for this survey. 



Though not within the province of this catalogue, it seems desir- 

 able to mention here the lists of 775 species of Fungi, by Dr. A. E. 

 Johnson, of Minneapolis, in the Bulletins of the Minnesota Acadetny 

 of Natural Sciences^ vol. i. These were nearly all collected by Dr. 

 Johnson within the limits of Hennepin, Ramsey, Wright and Anoka 

 counties. The fifth annual report of this survey, for the year 1876, 

 contains the same, but with the notes somewhat abbreviated, to the 

 number of 558 species, the extent to which the work had been car- 

 ried at the date of that report. Dr. Johnson has also given much
