O NEW VTORK STATE MUSEUM 



Considerable progress has been made in the compilation of a list 

 of New York fungi, which will also include an arrangement accord- 

 ing to the host plains whicn Uiey inhaoit in tne case of those 

 saprophytic and parasitic species which are found* upon definite 

 . hosts. 



Memoir on the Wild Flowers of New York. The photographic 

 work for this project was practically completed in 1916, and during 

 the past year it was necessary to secure additional photographs of 

 only a few subjects. The manuscript was completed in 19 17 and 

 there remains now only the completion of the engraving and print- 

 ing. It is expected that this will be finished before the publication 

 of this report. The great amount of detail connected with this 

 undertaking has made it necessary to curtail to a large extent new 

 investigations of a scientific nature.
