time and effort was spent in hunting for enough of the little 

 horse to warrant us in attempting the construction of a skeleton 

 for the Museum, but without success. 



Two hundred and fifteen species of plants were collected from 

 Stanley County and seventy from Washabaugh County, about 

 twelve hundred specimens, including duplicates. All plants col- 

 lected from Clay, Stanley and Washabaugh Counties and the 

 Black Hills were properly named and a true type from each specie 

 was labeled, mounted and placed in the Museum Herbarium. The 

 duplicates were all labeled and may be used in exchange for speci- 

 mens from other Universities. 



The Mollusca of the different localities visited, was also col- 

 lected and will be properly identified. 



Much attention was paid to the collecting of mammal skins 

 and especially the rodents and bats. These were identified by the 

 United States Biological Survey and many new species were 

 added to our Museum. One species of pocket gopher (Thomomys 

 Clusius) and one of bats (Myotis californicus ciliolabrum) were 

 the first records for the state. Bird Skins of about forty species 

 were taken in Stanley County and the Mountain Plover (Podasocys 

 montanus) is a new record for the state. Eighty specimens of 

 Reptiles and Amphibians were collected and are in the Museum. 

 A number of these were identified by Alexander G. Ruthven of 

 the University of Michigan. 



Many insects, including grasshoppers, beetles, moths and 

 butterflies were taken in the different localities visited and are 

 in the Museum.
