  Sir. 
  — 
  Since

  of 
  plants 
  have 
  been 
  mounted 
  

   and 
  placed 
  in 
  the 
  Herbarium, 
  of 
  which 
  one 
  hundred 
  and 
  

   thirty 
  were 
  not

  represented 
  therein.

  While 
  on 
  a 
  collecting 
  trip 
  in 
  the 
  Adirondack 
  region, 
  in 
  July 
  

   and 
  August, 
  my 
  attention 
  was 
  repeatedly 
  arrested 
  by 
  the 
  

   extensive 
  ravages 
  of 
  the 
  spruce-destroying 
  beetle, 
  Hylurgus 
  

   ruflpennis 
  Kirby, 
  of 
  which 
  a 
  partial 
  account 
  was 
  given 
  in 
  the 
  

   twenty-eighth 
  report. 
  The 
  green 
  slopes 
  of 
  Mt. 
  Emmons, 
  com- 
  

   monly 
  called 
  Blue 
  Mountain, 
  and 
  of 
  several 
  mountains 
  to 
  the 
  

   north 
  of 
  it 
  had 
  their 
  beauty, 
  and 
  their 
  value 
  too, 
  greatly 
  

   impaired 
  by 
  the 
  abundant 
  intermixture 
  of 
  the 
  brown 
  tops 
  of 
  

   dead 
  spruces. 
  The 
  destruction 
  was 
  also 
  visible 
  along 
  the 
  road 
  

   between 
  Newcomb 
  and 
  Long 
  Lake, 
  and 
  on 
  the 
  mountain 
  slopes
