Str.—Since the date of my last report, specimens of two hundred 
and eighty-two species of plants have been mounted and placed in 
the Herbarium of the State Museum of Natural History, of which 
two hundred and sixty-seven were not before represented therein. 
A list of the specimens mounted is marked (1). 
Specimens have been collected in the counties of Albany, Cayuga, 
Columbia, Greene, Lewis, Delaware, Onondaga, Otsego, Rensselaer, 
Ulster, Schoharie and Wayne. ‘These represent two hundred and 
sixteen species new to the Herbarium and one hundred and four 
species new to science. The latter are all fungi. A list of the 
species collected is marked (2). It will be seen that this list is but 
little less than the corresponding one of the preceding year, while 
the number of new species detected is even greater. These results, I 
apprehend, are entirely due to the character of the season just past, 
it having been one unusually favorable to the production of tungoid 
plants. 
Specimens of forty-eight New York species, new to the Herbarium 
and not among my collections of the past season, havé been contrib- 
uted or obtained by naming specimens for correspondents. These 
added to the collected species make the whole number of additions 
two hundred and sixty-four. A list of the contributors and their 
contributions is marked (8).
