To the Honorable the Board of Regents of the University of the 
State of New York: 
GENTLEMEN: —I have the honor to communicate to you the 
following report : 
In prosecuting the work of completing and arranging the State 
herbarium the past year, specimens of the plants of the State have 
been collected in the counties of Albany, Genesee, Essex, Hamil- 
ton, Livingston, Montgomery, Rensselaer, Saratoga, Schoharie, 
Washington, Wayne and Wyoming. | 
Specimens of 184 species have been added to the herbarium, of 
which twelve were contributed by correspondents, and 172 were 
collected by the Botanist. Of these 106 are new to the herbarium, 
and with two exceptions are new to our flora. Forty-seven of them 
are regarded as previously unpublished species. Among the added 
species are seven flowering plants, one moss and one lichen. The 
remainder are fungi. A list of the additions accompanies this 
report and is marked “A.” 
The number of contributors is twenty-three. Among their con- 
tributions are specimens of many extra limital species, not included 
in the preceding enumeration. These are kept distinct from the 
herbarium proper, which represents the State flora. A list of the 
contributors and of their respective contributions is marked ‘ B.” 
A paper containing notices of species not before reported, 
together with a record of their respective lozalities and descriptions 
of new species, is marked “ ©.” 
Notes and observations concerning those not new to our flora 
will be found in a paper marked “ D.” 
Wishing to obtain good flowering specimens of certain plants 
which grow upon the summit of Mt. Marcy, that locality was 
visited early in June. Although the snow had not yet entirely 
disappeared from that high elevation, several of the desired plants 
were in full bloom. Fine specimens were obtained of the alpine
