Reprint of the Report of the State Botanist for 1886; from the 

 Fortieth Annual Report of the State Museum 1887 



Through an oversight on the part of the state printers (Weed 

 and Parsons) no edition of the fortieth annual report of the Museimi 

 was printed except those necessary for the legislative dociunents. 

 This report has consequently never been distributed and as it 

 contained many original descriptions of plants by the State Botanist, 

 Dr Charles H. Peck, it is an important work of reference, especially 

 for students of mixology. To supply a constant demand which it 

 has hitherto been impossible to meet the Botanist's report is here 

 reprinted without change and page for page.
