Pkofessok Gbeene has been traveling slowly eastward to 

 New York since the latter part of June and botanizing at 

 various points along his route. He expects to sail for Europe 

 about September 1, or shortly after the close of the 

 American Association meetings. It is his intention to return 

 to California by the middle of January, 1895. 



Great Britain has botanists galore and there never has 

 been in that small isle dearth of such folk in the last four 

 hundred years. It might be thought certainly that in the 

 way of field work there would by this time be little to do. 

 But that there is much yet to be made known, even as to 

 distribution, is evidenced by the July number of the London 

 Journal of Botany which contains an article that adds fifteen 

 flowering plants, thirty-one mosses, and thirty-nine fungi to 

 the Flora of Herefordshire, published in 1889. 



Marshall A. Howe, Walter C. Blasdale and Willis 



L. Jepson, of the University of California, are at present in 

 the field engaged in an investigation of the phanerogamic 

 and cryptogamic vegetation of the upper Sacramento region. 

 The first camp of the party was established at an elevation of 

 3,600 feet on the slopes of Mt. Shasta at the headwaters of 

 the Sacramento River.
