Experiments in the cultivation of native grasses of which seeds were 
obtained are being made, and important and valuable results are looked 
for in this work. Some of the species are of particular promise, indi- 
cating productiveness and excellent quality for hay or pasturage. 
Thanks are due Prof. L. H. Bailey for determining the Carices, to 
Dr. N. L. Britton for determining the other Cyperacee, to Mr. F. V. 
Coville for determining the Juncacee, and to Mr. C. L. Pollard for 
determining the Leguminosa.
