558 I^IST OF PERSONS WHO HAVE MADE 



The other collectors upon this series of explorations did not reach our Stite, hut several 

 army officers stationed in tlie State made local collections, among which may be mentioned that 

 of Dr. J. F. IIammond, at Fort lu-adinj,', in 18r)3. 



CilAlti.Es WuKJiiT made u small collection ahuut Heiiicia, Mare Island, and vicinity, while 

 connected with the North Pacific ExjH-dition under ('aptaiu liodgers, in the winter of 1855-56. 



Gen. Amos B. Eato.v made a collection of ferns about the Strait of Canjuincs in 1855, and the 

 specimens were distributed by Prof. D. C. Eaton. The number of species was small, but some 

 were new to the State. 



Thomas Buidoes came to California in 1856, and for the next nine years collected on the 

 coast, much of the time in this SUite, his collections going mostly to Europe. After his death, 

 in 1865, his wife presented' the California collections then on hand to the National Herbarium at 

 Washington. They were distributed by Dr. Torrey. 



L. J. Xantus de Vesey collected at Fort Tejon in 1857-59 for the Smithsonian Institution, 

 and Dr. Gray pulilished a list of one hundred and twenty-two sjiecies. 



In 1860 the State Geological Survey, under Prof. J. D. Whitney, was organized, and 

 began field work in November of that year. In connection witli this survey, Wim.iam II. 

 Bkeweu collected from 1860 to 1864, and was the tirst to botanize to any considerable extent in 

 tha high Sii-rnxs. FitANflsco Guiuado in 1860 and 1861 collected with the i)arty, mostly 

 south of Monterey. Dr. J. G. Cootek collected in 1S60-C2 at Fort Mohave and elsewhere. 

 Dr. Edwaud Pai.meu collected at San Diego in 1861. Henky N. Bolandeu began his col- 

 lections in the State in 1863, which were continued for some twelve years or more, a part of 

 the time in connection with the State Survey, and were very rich and extensive. Dr. CiEoncE 

 H. Horn, of the United States Army, made collections in 1862 -6-J at Camp Independence in 

 Owen's Valley and at Fort Tejon, and placed his collections at the service of the Survey. Wil- 

 liam Holder collected about a hundred species around Oakland in 1863. Dr. William Hille- 

 bkand, of Honolulu, visited the State the same year and made considerable collections, mostly in 

 the Sien-a Nevada, a part of which he jjlaced in the State collection. Jlr. V. Rattan collected 

 near Placerville in 1863, and again in the Sacramento Valley in 1866, and placed dujdicates in the 

 collection of the Survey. Dr. H. M. Cuonkihti;, U. S. Army, made a small but interesting 

 collection in the Klamath Valley in 1864. Other pei-sons also contributed smaller numbers of 

 specimeus, the collections of the Survey from these vaiious sources reaching some eight thousand 

 numbers. 



Dr. Charles L. Anderson, formerly of Carson City, Nevada, collected in that vicinity and 

 on the eastern slope of the Sierra Nevada, 1863-66, then came into (.'alifornia, where he has 

 since lived and has further collected, mostly in the region about Santa Cruz. A list of his 

 Nevada collections, many of which were .sent to Dr. Gray, was iiublishcil in connection with the 

 Report of the Nuvada State Geologist in 1870. 



HoKACE Mann, Jr., visited the State in 1864 and again in 1865, colleiiting in the two visits 

 about three hundred species, which are now in the herbarium of Cornell University. 



Dr. John Tourey was here in 1865, most of the time at Santa Barbara, also crossing the SieiTa 

 into Nevada, and, as usual, detected many interesting species. 



Prof. Ali'Honso Wood in 1866 traversed the State from San Diego to Oregon, and made a con- 

 siderable collection. 



Dr. George L. Goodale made a small collection of plants in the same year. 



Prof. S. F. Pel'KHAM collected also in 1866 between three and four hundrr<l species in the 

 valley of the Santa Clara River. 



[To supplement the above list, it is a jileasure here to make i-special acknowledgment of those 

 who by their contributions have aided essentially in the prei)aration of this Botany of the State. 

 As tlie freijuent recurrence of theii- names through the two volumes shows, there are several ladies 

 to whom very much is due. Prominent among these are Mrs. Mary E. Pulhifer Ames, of 

 Auliurn, and Mrs. R. M. Au.stin, of Prattville, Plumas County, who, during several years, have 

 collected zealously in the northern Sierra Nevada, and have added hugely to our knowledge of 

 the llora of that region. Mrs. A. P. Barti.ett, of Bartlett Canon, near Santa Barbara, Mrs. 

 John Bidwell, of Chico, Mi-s. A. E. Bu.sh, of San Jose, Mrs. Ei.wocu) Cooper, of Santa Barbara, 

 and Miss Sara A. Plummer, also of Santa Barbara, have all made collections of value, and with 

 scarcely an exception have contrilnited new species to the llora of the State. Among the other 

 collectors no one has been more enthusiastic or successful than Mr. J. G. Lem.mon of Siermville, 

 who has botanized through a large part of the northern Sierra Nevada and in the desert region of 

 the northeastern i>art of the State, as well as in Southern California, between .Santa Barbara nml
