WEST VIRGINIA GEOLOGICAL SURVEY 5 



(13) E. RICHARDSON collected in Ohio County in the vicinity of Wheel- 

 ing, in 1877 and 1879 ; and the neighborhood of Bethany, Brooke 

 County, in 1878. The extent of his collections is not known 

 to me at this writing. His plants are deposited in the U. S. 

 National Herbarium, Washington, D. C. 



(14^> MERTZ & GUTTENBERG. Profs. H. N. Mertz and Gustav Guttenberg, 

 of Wheeling and Pittsburg, collected extensively from 1877 to 

 1888 through all the northern counties of the State from Wheel- 

 ing to Harpers Ferry. They published, in 1878, "A Check List 

 of the Plants of West Virginia" in which they enumerated 590 

 species. Their collections are deposited in the herbarium of the 

 Carnegie Museum, Pittsburg. 



(15) MERTZ & JONES. Prof. H. N. Mertz and Miss Hattie Jones made a 



comprehensive collection of the plants of Cranberry Summit, 

 Preston County, in 1878. Their specimens are preserved in the 

 herbarium of the Carnegie Museum, Pittsburg. 



(16) PROF. CHA(RLE)S R(EID) BARNES, late professor of Physiological 



Botany, University of Chicago, spent a short time, in June, 1879, 

 collecting along the Kanawha River from Charleston to Gauley 

 Bridge, principally in the neighborhood of Charleston. His 

 collections are in the Herbarium of Wabash College. (See his 

 "Notes from West Virginia" in Botanical Gazette Vol. 4:181-2, 

 1879). 



(17) PROF. JOHN M(ERLE) COULTER, Professor of Botany, University of 



Chicago, conducted, while Professor of Biology at Wabash Col- 

 lege, Indiana, an excursion of his class in Geology, to the mining 

 regions of southern West Virginia, in 1879. On this trip he 

 collected a few interesting plants from Charleston, Kanawha 

 County, to Gauley Bridge, Fayette County. His specimens are 

 deposited in the herbarium of Wabash College. 



(18) CAPTAIN JOHN DONNELL-SMITH spent his summers, from 1879 to 



1882, at Oakland, Md., from whence he made occasional short 

 trips to various points in West Virginia, especially those reached 

 by the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad. During these excursions he 

 collected such plants as appeared to be of special interest, par- 

 ticularly at Tygarts Valley, Mannington and Grafton. His plants 

 are in his private herbarium now deposited in the U. S. National 

 Herbarium, Washington, D. C. 



(19) C(YRUS) G(UERNSEY) PRINGLE, the noted botanical collector, late of 



Charlotte, Vt., made a small but interesting collection at White 

 Sulphur Springs, in Greenbrier County, and in the neighborhood 

 of Ronceverte, in Fayette County, in 1880. The exact number of 

 his specimens is not known to me at this writing; they are de- 

 posited in his private herbarium now at the University of Ver- 

 mont.

J(ohn) H(oward) Redfield collected from White Sulphur 

 Springs, Greenbrier County, to Hawks Nest, Fayette County, in 

 1880. The numerical strength of their separate collections I 

 have not been able to determine. Prof. Porter's plants are in 

 the herbarium of Lafayette College, Easton, Pa.; those of Mr.
