8 MONTANA AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE SCIENCE STUDIES. 



in 1871, collecting along the Upper Yellowstone, Gallatin, Madison 

 and Jefferson rivers, their plants being determined and results pub- 

 lished by Porter in the Hayden Survey for 1871 (pp. 477-498). Their 

 collections are with the Porter Herbarium at Lafayette College, 

 Easton, Pa. and a duplicate set at the N. Y. Bot. Card. 



John M. Coulter, now Professor of Botany in the University of 

 Chicago and whose "Manual of Rocky Mountain Botany" still re- 

 mains our text-book on the flora of the state, was here with the 

 Hayden Survey in 1872-3, but collected only along the Upper Yel- 

 lowstone and mainly within the present limits of the Park. His 

 determinations appear in the Hayden Survey for 1873 (pp. 747-792), 

 while his specimens are probably in the National Herbarium at 

 Washington and at the University of Chicago. 



J. A. Allen, Naturalist of the North Pacific Railroad Expedition 

 of 1873, ascended the Yellowstone to Pompey's Pillar, thence across 

 to and down the Musselshell to the Big Bend and back down the 

 Yellowstone. His plants were determined by Dr. George Vasey 

 and a set is doubtless in the National Herbarium. He published: 

 his report, which contains a considerable list of Montana species, in 

 Boston (Proc. Boston Soc. Nat. Hist. 17: 70-86. 1874). 



C. C. Parry accompanied the Jones Expedition to the Yellowstone 

 Park in 1873 and some of his collections are probably from the Up- 

 the Yellowstone in Montana. All his private herbarium extant 

 is at the Iowa State University, Iowa City, Iowa, but there are 

 duplicate sets in the older herbaria. His "Botanical Observations" 

 was published (Amer. Nat. 8: 9, 102, 175, 211, with a reprint) at 

 Salem, Mass, in 1874. 



Elliott Coues, then connected with the army as surgeon and nat- 

 uralist on the United States Northern Boundary Commission, in 

 conjunction with the Canadian naturalist, George M. Dawson made 

 collections along the northern boundary of the state in 1874, the 

 species being determined and published by dickering (Bull. U. S. 

 Geol. and Geogr. Survey, 4: 801-830. Washington, 1878). 



V. Havard, an army surgeon, took part in a reconnoissance in 

 1877 up the Yellowstone to Pompey's Pillar and thence northward 

 across the Musselshell and Judith Basin to the Missouri and again, 

 in 1879, U P the Missouri and Milk rivers to Ft. Assinniboine and on
