Sir — The number of species of plants of which specimens have 
been poisoned, mounted, labeled and placed in the State Herba- 
rium, since the date of my last report, is seven hundred and 
forty-six. A list of them is given in a paper marked (1). 
Seeds of one hundred and sixty-four species have been placed 
in small paper pockets with mica covers, and attached to their 
respective species sheets. A list of the species is marked (2). 
The number of species of which specimens have been collected, 
is four hundred and thirteen, of which three hundred and twelve 
are new to the State, and sixty-eight new or unpublished. A 
tabular statement and classification is given below. list of the 
species is marked (38).

It will be seen that the greatest number of additions, as well as 
of new species, is of the fungi. This is due to the facts that there 
are very many species of them, that they have hitherto been less 
thoroughly studied and carefully collected than the others, and 
that special attention has been given to them the past season.
