Botany 



The report for the year 1898 of the state botanist, Prof. Charles 

 LI. Peck, which appears separately as museum bulletin 25, gives the 

 names of the counties in the state in which specimens of plants for 

 the herbarium were collected, either by the botanist himself or by 

 his correspondents, and gives a list of the names of the species added 

 to the herbarium during the year. Also a list of the names of the 

 contributors of specimens and of their respective contributions. 



In the recently published Illustrated flora of the northern 

 states and Canada^ many plant names have been changed, so that 

 its nomenclature differs considerably from that of Gray's Manual.
