1895.] Explorations of Thomas Coulter. 527 
The descriptions of most of Coulter's new species have 
come into the literature of botany irregularly and incidentally 
in various reports and monographs prepared at the great 
herbaria which received his collections, so that the complete 
collation of them would be a matter of great difficulty and 
probably not worth the effort. As indicative, however, of 
some of the avenues of publication, [ append a list, chrono- 
logically arranged, of most of the species that bear his name, 
together with a few critical notes on other species regarding 
which mistakes appear to have been made.
