able number of species not to be found during the summer. e 
received a most cordial reception in Bermuda; our thanks are

F. T. Frith, Librarian of the Public Library, Hamilton. 
The seaweed flora of Bermuda was studied by Dr. Marshall 
A. Howe, assistant curator, during the summer of 1g00, who 
at that time made extensive collections which have since een 
placed in our museums and herbarium. 
It was a matter of keen regret that our visit was subsequent

EXPLORATIONS IN UTAH. 
Dr. N. L. Britron, DiretctTor-1n-CHIEF. 
Sir: In accordance with your permission and directions I 
started the twenty-ninth of May of this year on a botanical ex- 
ploration trip to Utah, which lasted nearly three months. The 
trip was undertaken mainly to give me the opportunity of a per- 
sonal visit to this part of the Rocky Mountain region. While 
ad spent seven summers in the Rocky Mountains and adjacent 
country, principally in Montana, Colorado, western Nebraska and 
the Black Hills of South Dakota, and also made shorter stays 
in Wyoming and oa I had botanized only two days within 
the state of Utah, one at Logan and one in the Echo Caijion. 
The field was i ee practically new 
Utah, together with Souther: ve constitutes the part of 
the Rocky Mountain region ee well known botanically of all.
