IO THE WEST VIRGINIA FLORA 



(50) PROF. A(LBERT) S(PEAR) HITCHCOCK, Agrostologist of the U. S. 



Department of Agriculture, made small but discriminative col- 

 lections, mostly of grasses, in the neighborhood of Morgantown, 

 Monongalia County, in 1902, and Harpers Ferry, in Jefferson, 

 in 1905. His plants are in the herbarium of the Department 

 in Washington. 



(51) F(RED) E(RNEST) BROOKS, of the U. S. Bureau of Entomology, 



traveled extensively throughout the State engaged in field 

 work for the Bureau, from 1902 to 1912. During that work he 

 collected such plants as 'appeared of particular interest. His 

 plant collection is deposited in the herbaria of Prof. John L. 

 Sheldon and the West Virginia Agricultural Experiment Sta- 

 tion ; both at Morgantown. 



(52) KENNETH K(ENT) MACKENZIE, ESQR., collected, from August 27th 



to September 9th, 1903, in Greenbrier County, in the vicinity 

 of White Sulphur Springs and Kates Mountain. He secured 

 187 numbers of interesting plants, among which is his new 

 genus in the parsley family (Pseudotaenidia). His prime set 

 of plants is in his private herbarium and a full series of dupli- 

 cates in that of the New York Botanical Garden. 



(53) C(HARLES) L. BOYNTON, of the Biltmore Herbarium, collected, 



during the month of June, 1903, at Huntington, Kenova, Milton, 

 St. Albans, Saltes, Charleston, Eastbank, Gauley Bridge, Thur- 

 mond, Hinton and White Sulphur Springs; revisiting the latter 

 place in October. In May and September 1904 he again collected 

 in the neighborhood of White Sulphur Springs and Tuckahoe. 

 His total gatherings amounted to 295 plant numbers, the prime 

 set being deposited in the Biltmore Herbarium.. 



(54) DR. A(LBERT) LER.OY ANDREWS, while connected with the West 



Virginia University from 1903 to 1904, collected in many locali- 

 ties in Monongalia and Preston Counties. He specialized in the 

 Bryophytes. His plants are principally in the herbaria of the 

 Experiment Station at Morgantown and at Williams College, and 

 in his private herbarium. (See his "Additions to the Bryophytic 

 Flora of W r est Virginia", in "The Bryologist", Vol. 8 : 63-65 

 1905). 



(55) JOHN L(EWIS) SHELDON, Professor of Botany and Bacteriology at 



the University of West Virginia, has made discriminative and 

 specialized collections in the State, covering principally the 

 counties of Monongalia, Preston, Greenbrier, Monroe, Pocahon- 

 tas, Berkeley, Jefferson, Randolph, and all those along the Ohio 

 River, from 1903 to 1912. His field work has added a large num- 

 ber of species to the previously known Flora ; these are indicated 

 in the text of this work. Prof. Sheldon's prime set of 4454 

 numbers is deposited in his private herbarium at Morgantown, 

 where it is freely utilized by his classes at the University. His 

 collections consist largely of cryptogams. (See "The Bryologist," 

 Vol. X:80-84; Vol. XIII :64-65 for his "Additional West Vir- 

 ginia Hepaticae," and "Species of Hepaticae Known to Occur in 

 West Virginia.") 



Dr. Sheldon has contributed to this Flora full lists of al! 

 the fungi of his herbarium that have passed under the critical 

 examination of specialists in the various groups. He has also
