102 SEMI-CENTENNIAL OF TORREY BOTANICAL CLUB 
staging to the railway at Holquin, proceeded to Havana. On the 
way a few hours’ stop was made at Santa Clara. In a few days 
he left for the north, arriving at Miami, Fla.,on March 2. Asa 
result of this trip Professor Holway contributed 42 specimens, 
representing 34 species of rusts. Messrs. Earle and Underwood 
left Baracoa on March 19, returning to Santiago de Cuba. After 
a few days at Alto Cedro, Professor Underwood sailed for Jamaica 
on March 27, and Prof. Earle for New York on the following day 
(cf. Jour. N. Y. Bot. Gard. 4: 81-85. 1903). Together they con- 
tributed four specimens. The results of the expedition were 
disappointing, as the time fell in the dry period of an unusually dry 
season. 
An expedition from the New York Garden spent the time be- 
tween Feb. 21 and April 3, 1910, in Cuba. It was composed of 
Dr. and Mrs. N. L. Britton and Mr. Percy Wilson, and was joined 
at Havana by Prof. F. S. Earle. Most of the time was given to 
the Province of Santa Clara (cf. Jour. N. Y. Bot. Gard. 11: 109- 
117. 10910), and incidentally eight specimens of rusts were 
secured. ut 
A second expedition in 1910 spent Aug. 24 to Sept. 23, in west- 
ern Cuba, exploring the Province of Pinar del Rio. It consisted 
of Dr. and Mrs. Britton and Dr. C. Stuart Gager, and was joined 
by Professor Earle (cf. Jour. N. Y. Bot. Gard. 11:226-236. 1910). 
'Two specimens of rusts were secured. 
In 1911 an expedition consisting of Dr. and Mrs. Britton and 
Mr. J. F. Cowell gave the time between Feb. 22 and the end of 
March, to an exploration of western and central Cuba (cf. Jour. 
№. Y. Bot. Gard. 12: 89-95. 1911), securing one rust collection. 
The most fruitful expedition in its bearing on the present rust 
study was in 1916, when Dr. and Mrs. Britton and Mr. Wilson 
devoted the time between Jan. 29 and March 28, largely to the 
Isle of Pines. They were joined for a few days by Brother León 
of the Colegio de la Salle, Havana (cf. Jour. ЇЧ. Y. Bot. Gard. 
18: 64-71. 1916). Heretofore Mr. Wilson had taken an occa- 
sional specimen of rust, beginning when connected for a time in 
1904 with the Cuban Experiment Station, and continuing to do so 
on his many subsequent trips to Cuba. But, having become espe- 
cially interested in the rusts of the island while assisting in the
