558 LI ST OF PERSONS WHO HAVE MADE 



The other collectors upon this series of explorations did not reach our State, hut several 

 army officers stationed in the State made local collections, among which nmy.be mentioned that 

 of Dr. J. F. HAMMOND, at Fort Reading, in 1853. 



CHARLES WRIGHT made a small collection about Benicia, Mare Island, and vicinity, while 

 connected with the North Pacific Expedition under Captain Kodgers, in the winter of 1855-56. 



Gen. AMOS B. EATON made a collection of ferns about the Strait of Carquines in 1855, and the 

 specimens were distributed by Prof. D. C. Eaton. The number of species was small, but some 

 were new to the State. 



THOMAS BRIDGES came to California in 1856, and for the next nine years collected on the 

 coast, much of the time in this State, his collections going mostly to Europe. After his death, 

 in 1865, his wife presented the California collections then on hand to the National Herbarium at 

 Washington. They were distributed by Dr. Torrey. 



L. J. XANTUS DE VESEY collected at Fort Tejon in 1857-59 for the Smithsonian Institution, 

 and Dr. Gray published a list of one hundred and twenty-two species. 



In 1860 the State Geological Survey, under Prof. J. D. Whitney, was organized, and 

 began field work in November of that year. In connection with this survey, WILLIAM H. 

 BREWER collected from 1860 to 1864, and was the first to botanize to any considerable extent in 

 the high Sierras. FRANCISCO GUIRADO in 1860 and 1861 collected with the party, mostly 

 south of Monterey. Dr. J. G. COOPER collected in 1860-62 at Fort Mohave and elsewhere. 

 Dr. EDWARD PALMER collected at San Diego in 1861. HENRY N. BOLANDER began his col- 

 lections in the State in 1863, which were continued for some twelve years or more, a part of 

 the time in connection with the State Survey, and were very rich and extensive. Dr. GEORGE 

 H. HORN, of the United States Army, made collections in 1862-64 at Camp Independence in 

 Owen's Valley and at Fort Tejon, and placed his collections at the service of the Survey. WIL- 

 LIAM HOLDER collected about a hundred species around Oakland in 1863. Dr. WILLIAM HILLK- 

 BRAND, of Honolulu, visited the State the same year and made considerable collections, mostly in 

 the Sierra Nevada, a part of which he placed in the State collection. Mr. V. RATTAN collected 

 near Placerville in 1863, and again in the Sacramento Valley in 1866, and placed duplicates in the 

 collection of the Survey. Dr. H. M. CRONKHITE, U. S. Army, made a small but interesting 

 collection in the Klamath Valley in 1864. Other persons also contributed smaller numbers of 

 specimens, the collections of the Survey from these various sources reaching some eight thousand 

 numbers. 



Dr. CHARLES L. ANDERSON, formerly of Carson City, Nevada, collected in that vicinity and 

 on the eastern slope of the Sierra Nevada, 1863-66, then canie into California, where he has 

 since lived and has further collected, mostly in the region about Santa Cruz. A list of his 

 Nevada collections, many of which were sent to Dr. Gray, was published in connection with the 

 Report of the Nevada State Geologist in 1870. 



HORACE MANN, Jr., visited the State in 1864 and again in 1865, collecting in the two visits 

 about three hundred species, which are now in the herbarium of Cornell University. 



Dr. JOHN TORREY was here in 1865, most of the time at Santa Barbara, also crossing the Sierra 

 into Nevada, and, as usual, detected many interesting species. 



Prof. ALPHONSO WOOD in 1866 traversed the State from San Diego to Oregon, and made a con- 

 siderable collection. 



Dr. GEORGE L. GOODALE made a small collection of plants in the same year. 



Prof. S. F. PECKHAM collected also in 1866 between three and four hundred species in the 

 valley of the Santa Clara River. 



[To supplement the above list, it is a pleasure here to make especial acknowledgment of those 

 who by their contributions have aided essentially in the preparation of this Bc-tany of the State. 

 As the frequent recurrence of their names through the two volumes shows, there are several ladies 

 to whom very much is due. Prominent among these are Mrs. MARY E. PULSIFER AMES, of 

 Auburn, and Mrs. R. M. AUSTIN, of Prattville, Pluinas County, who, during several years, have 

 collected zealously in the northern Sierra Nevada, and have added largely to our knowledge of 

 the flora of that region. Mrs. A. P. BARTLETT, of Bartlett Canon, near Santa Barbara, Mrs. 

 JOHN BIDWELL, of Chico, Mrs. A. E. BUSH, of San Jose, Mrs. ELWOOD COOPER, of Santa Barbara, 

 and Miss SARA A. PLUMMER, also of Santa Barbara, have all made collections of value, and with 

 scarcely an exception have contributed new species to the flora of the State. Among the other 

 collectors no one has been more enthusiastic or successful than Mr. J. G. LEMMON of Sierraville, 

 who has botanized through a large part of the northern Sierra Nevada and in the desert region of 

 the northeastern part of the State, as well as in Southern California, between Santa Barbara and
