These admittedly incomplete lists form the basis for the additions 

 and corrections carried forward by the late Dr Charles Horton 

 Peck, as State Botanist, with each annual report from 1869 to 1913. 

 No complete list of the plants of the entire State has been published, 

 however, since 1866. The preparation of this catalog of the plants 

 of the state is practically completed and it will soon be presented 

 for publication as a separate bulletin. Reports of doubtful value 

 have been Verified wherever possible or else the report is stated to 

 rest only upon a certain published record. 



Noteworthy contributions to the state herbarium. The chief 

 additions to the state herbarium during the past year in the form of
