Specimens of 183 species and varieties not new to the herbarium 

 have been added. These represent some new form or variety of 

 species already represented or are better specimens than the older 

 ones. 



Several species of wilr" mushrooms have been tried for their edible 

 qualities. Of these eight species and varieties have been approved, 

 and colored figures of natural size and revised descriptions have been 

 prepared. This makes the number of New York species and 

 varieties of edible mushrooms 213. Investigations have been made 

 showing that some edible mushrooms vary decidedly in flavor. 



In an effort to locate the chestnut bark disease which has proved 

 so destructive to chestnut trees in some parts of our State, two. trips 

 were made, one to Sand Lake, Rensselaer county, and one to 

 Cooperstown, Otsego county. Both of these visits were unsuccessful 

 in finding any trees affected by the disease, though chestnut trees 

 were common in both places. 



In June a visit was made to Peacock marsh, near Averyville in 

 Essex county, and a list of the species of flowering plants observed 

 growing on the marsh was made.
