BOTANICAL COLLECTIONS IN CALIFORNIA. 559 



the Sierras, and especially in connection with Dr. C. C. PARRY in 1878 about San Bernardino 

 and the borders of the adjacent desert. Dr. EDWARD PALMER has visited California several 

 times, making very valuable collections in the southern borders of the State and northward to the 

 Mohave region and along the coast to Monterey, as well as on Guadalupe Island and through 

 Western Arizona. Rev. E. L. GREENK made small collections, but including many novelties, 

 about San Francisco and northward, and especially in Siskiyou County. Mr. VOLNEY RATTAN, 

 of San Francisco, has collected in the Coast Ranges, northward to the Oregon line ; as also Mr. 

 G. R. VASEY, of Chicago, who visited the State to make specimens, especially of woods, for the 

 Centennial Exhibition. Sir JOSEPH D. HOOKER and Dr. ASA GRAY were in California in 1877, 

 visiting Monterey, the Yosemite Valley, and Mount Shasta. In Southern California, Mr. D. 

 CLEVELAND, of San Diego, has communicated much of interest respecting the plants of that 

 place, of especial importance as the region where Nuttall had found many species. Dr. 

 J. T, ROTH ROCK, in connection with Lieutenant Wheeler's survey, collected between Santa 

 Barbara and the head of Kern River. Mr. S. B. PARISH and Mr. W. G. WRIGHT at San Bernar- 

 dino, and Rev. J. C. NEVIN at Los Angeles, have all interested themselves in the botany of their 

 localities, and gathered as opportunity offered, as has also Dr. W. MATTHEWS, U. S. Army, 

 stationed at Camp Independence in Inyo County, and afterwards at Camp Bidwell in the north- 

 eastern part of the State. 



Mention should also be made of those whose collections, though not made within the State, 

 have been from so near its borders as to be of importance in showing the range of many Califor- 

 nia species, and especially as indicating what species may still be expected to be discovered. Such 

 are the collections made in connection with Lieutenant WHEELER'S survey in Arizona and Nevada, 

 by Dr. PALMER and Dr. PARRY in Arizona and Southern Utah; and by Mr. W. W. BAILEY 

 and SERENO WATSON in Northern Nevada upon the survey of the 40th parallel under CLARENCE 

 KING, while in Oregon very important collections have been made by E. HALL in 1871, and 

 more recently by Rev. R. D. NEVIUS of The Dalles and Baker City, and Messrs. JOSEPH and 

 THOMAS J. HOWELL of Willamette Slough, and in Washington Territory by Mr. W. SUKSDOUF, 

 at White Salmon, and Mr. W. C. CUSICK, of Union. S. W.j
