Dr. N. L. Britron, DIRECTOR-tN-CHIEF. 
Sir: In accordance with your instructions, I left New York on 
the roth of June for a collecting trip of two months and a half 
in southeastern Utah. On my way out I visited Duluth, Minne- 
sota, where I stayed a little over a week. During this time I 
went out collecting twice. The most interesting plant collected 
was Rubus parviflorus (R. Nutkanus), which grew in great pro- 
fusion around the city. The plant is a typical Rocky Mountain 
plant. but one of those which come across the plains to the Great 
Lakes. 
On the 24th of June, I arrived at Salt Lake City, Utah, and 
was met at the station by Professor A. O. Garrett, of the City 
High School. Professor Garrett was to accompany me on my 
w days I stayed in the city. Indeed, I am greatly indebted 
to Professor Garrett for all the help he gave me both in collecting 
and otherwise, as well as for a pleasant and most congenial 
companionship during the trip. He introduced me to the Na- 
tional Copper Bank, where I deposited the money needed for 
the trip. From the bank we received a letter of introduction to 
the leading commercial firm of southwestern Utah, viz., Cooper, 
Martin & Co., of Moab. Through them our checks were ac- 
cepted everywhere and we had many advantages which we would 
not have had otherwise. Mr. Cooper also kindly furnished us
