  OF 
  THE 
  BOTANIST. 
  

  

  Dr. 
  S. 
  B. 
  Wool 
  worth 
  : 
  

  

  Sir 
  — 
  I 
  herewith 
  submit 
  the 
  following 
  brief 
  statement 
  of 
  work 
  

   done 
  toward 
  completing 
  and 
  perfecting 
  the 
  State 
  Herbarium. 
  

  

  Since 
  July 
  1st, 
  there 
  have 
  been 
  added 
  to 
  the 
  Herbarium, 
  speci- 
  

   mens 
  of 
  two 
  hundred 
  and 
  eighty-two 
  species, 
  of 
  which 
  one 
  hun- 
  

   dred 
  and 
  thirty 
  are 
  Phsenogamous 
  or 
  Flowering 
  plants, 
  and 
  one 
  

   hundred 
  and 
  fifty-two 
  are 
  Cryptogamous 
  plants 
  belonging 
  to 
  the 
  

   orders 
  Musci 
  and 
  Hepaticse. 
  Collections 
  of 
  Lichens 
  and 
  of 
  Fungi 
  

   have 
  been 
  commenced, 
  but 
  the 
  specimens 
  collected 
  have 
  not 
  yet 
  

   been 
  critically 
  examined. 
  Probably 
  about 
  forty 
  species 
  of 
  the 
  

   former 
  and 
  eighty 
  of 
  the 
  latter 
  order 
  are 
  represented. 
  

  

  Of 
  the 
  one 
  hundred 
  and 
  thirty 
  specimens 
  of 
  Phsenogamia, 
  fifty- 
  

   eight 
  supply 
  deficiencies 
  published 
  in 
  the 
  Regents' 
  Circular 
  of 
  

   1864, 
  twelve 
  supply 
  deficiencies 
  not 
  published 
  therein, 
  and 
  the 
  

   remaining 
  sixty 
  are 
  added 
  because 
  they 
  represent 
  some 
  peculiar 
  

   variety, 
  or 
  will 
  aid 
  in 
  giving 
  a 
  more 
  complete 
  idea 
  of 
  the 
  several 
  

   species. 
  

  

  Of 
  the 
  one 
  hundred 
  and 
  fifty-two 
  Cryptogamia, 
  one 
  hundred 
  

   and 
  ten 
  are 
  Mosses 
  and 
  forty-two 
  are 
  Liverworts. 
  A 
  few 
  of 
  these 
  

   have 
  been 
  obtained 
  from 
  correspondents 
  or 
  in 
  exchange, 
  but 
  they 
  

   are 
  mostly 
  of 
  nvy 
  own 
  collecting. 
  

  

  Specimens 
  of 
  one 
  hundred 
  and 
  twenty-one 
  species 
  of 
  Phaenoga- 
  

   mous 
  plants 
  have 
  been 
  selected 
  from 
  the 
  packages 
  contributed 
  by 
  

   various 
  botanists 
  from 
  time 
  to 
  time 
  in 
  response 
  to 
  the 
  Circular 
  of 
  

   the 
  Regents. 
  Of 
  these, 
  seventy-seven 
  supply 
  deficiencies 
  pub- 
  

   lished 
  therein 
  ; 
  the 
  remainder 
  either 
  supply 
  unpublished 
  defL 
  

   ciencies, 
  or 
  being 
  beautiful 
  specimens, 
  are 
  added 
  for 
  the 
  better 
  

   representation 
  of 
  species.
