Str— Since the date of my last report, specimens of one 
hundred and fifty species of plants have been mounted and 
placed in the Herbarium of the State Museum of Natural His- 
_ tory, of which one hundred and thirty were not before repre- 
sented therein. A list of the specimens mounted is marked 
(1). | 
Specimens have been collected in the counties of Albany, 
Dutchess, Fulton, Greene, Hamilton, Oswego, Rensselaer and 
Saratoga. These represent one hundred and sixty species 
new to the Herbarium, seventy of which are regarded as new 
or hitherto undescribed species. <A list of the specimens col- 
lected is marked (2). 
Specimens of fifty-six New York species, new to the Her- 
barium and not among my collections of the past season, have 
been contributed by or been obtained in naming specimens 
for correspondents. These added to the collected species 
make the whole number of additions two hundred and six- 
teen, a number considerably in excess of that for the previous 
year. A list of the contributors and their contributions is 
marked (3). 
New species with their descriptions, previously unreported 
species, new stations of rare plants, etc., are given in a section 
marked (4).
