 REPORT OF THE BOTANIST. 



S. B. WOOLWOETH, LL.D., 



Secretary of the Regents : 



SiE — The number of species of plants of which specimens have 

 been poisoned, mounted, labeled and placed in the State Herba- 

 rium, since the date of my last report, is seven hundred and 

 forty-six. A list of them is given in a paper marked (1). 



Seeds of one hundred and sixty-four species have been placed 

 in small paper pockets with mica covers, and attached to their 

 respective species sheets. A list of the species is marked (2). 



The number of species of which specimens have been collected, 

 is four hundred and thirteen, of which three hundred and twelve 

 are new to the State, and sixty-eight new or unpublished. A 

 tabular statement and classification is given below. A list of the 

 species is marked (3). 



Species Collected. 



It will be seen that the greatest number of additions, as well as 

 of new species, is of the fungi. This is due to the facts that there 

 are very many species of them, that they have hitherto been less 

 thoroughly studied and carefully collected than the others, and 

 that special attention has been given to them the past season.
