REPORT ON BOTANICAL EXPLORATION IN 
ANDROS, BAHAMAS 
Dr. N. L. Brirron, DirEcToOR-IN-CHIEF. 
Sir: According to plans for exploration in the botanically little 
known parts of Andros, Bahamas, approved by you, Mr. 
Carter and the writer left New York for the field on the tenth of 
tropical Laboratory, and reached Nassau, New Providence, in 
due time. We wish to thank Mr. Simmons, who is in charge o} 
the Subtropical inion and Garden at Miami, for placing 
the use of that institution at our disposal. 
Nearly all matters of detail connected with the expedition at 
Nassau, had been arranged before our arrival, through the kind- 
ness and forethought of the Hon. Herbert A. Brook, Registrar 
of the colony. After consultation with Sir William Grey-Wilson, 
Governor of the Bahamas, and the Colonial Secretary, both of 
whom did all in their power to make our undertaking successful, 
we boarded our vessel, the Nellie Leonora, which was awaiting 
us in the harbor, and, weighing anchor towards sunset, we set 
sail for the government headquarters of the Mangrove Cay 
section of Andros. Our associate, designated by the governor as 
a member of the expedition, was Mr. James R. Aranha, of the 
Surveyor General’s office of the colony. Mr. Aranha was an 
ideal companion, and his accurate knowledge of the topography 
of Andros and personal acquaintance with the native inhabitants, 
together with ‘his tireless activity in the field, enabled us to ac- 
complish our work both expeditiously and thoroughly.
