REPORT OF THE BOTANIST. 



S. B. Woolworth, LL.D., 



Secretary of the Board of Regents of the University : 



Sir — Since the date of my last report specimens of two 

 hundred and forty-six species of plants have been mounted 

 and placed in the State Herbarium. A list of these is 

 marked (1). 



Specimens have been collected in the counties of Albany, 

 Essex, Rensselaer, Hamilton and Sullivan. These represent 

 one hundred and twenty species new to the Herbarium, and 

 one hundred and eighteen species new to the State. Ninety- 

 seven are fungi, of which thirty-nine are considered new 

 or undescribed species. A list of plants collected is 

 marked (2). 



Specimens of thirty-one species new to the Herbarium and 

 not among my collections of the past season have been received 

 from correspondents. These were collected in the counties of 

 Dutchess, Erie, Onondaga, Oneida, Saratoga, Ulster, Suffolk 

 and Westchester. If these be added to those of my own col- 

 lecting, the total number of additions to the Herbarium, the 

 past season, becomes one hundred and fifty-one species. This 

 does not include extra-limital species, specimens of a con- 

 siderable number of which have been received. A list of con- 

 tributors and their contributions is marked (3).
