6.-1 NEW YORK STATE MUSEUM 



central and southwestern parts of the State. The number of 

 species added to the flora and represented by specimens in the 

 herbarium is 8. Of these, 2 are new to science. Many specimens 

 of this genus yet await identification. 



About 20 species of trees are represented by botanical specimens 

 not included in the foregoing enumeration. These were collected 

 for the purpose of replacing those that were damaged or lost in 

 the St Louis and Portland Expositions. 



During the interval between the collecting seasons of 1905' and 

 1906 the annual report for 1905 was prepared, an additional 

 table case of specimens of parasitic fungi was placed on exhibition 

 and the contribution of the Osaka Mushroom Merchants Associa- 

 tion, the receipt of which was acknowledged in the annual report 

 for 1905, was prepared for exhibition and placed in the botanical 

 exhibit room of the State Museum. A revision of the New York 

 species of the two large and somewhat difficult genera, Russula and 

 Hygrophorus, was made and in many cases more complete and 

 satisfactory descriptions of the species have been written. 



The assistant in botany has been chiefly occupied with office 

 work. He has incorporated the collections of 1905 in their proper 

 places, has disinfected and labeled the specimens, attended to the 

 correspondence in the absence of the Botanist, identifying specimens 

 sent for determination and giving information sought concern- 

 ing them. He has prepared a card catalogue with descriptive refer- 

 ences of the new species of fungi described by the Botanist.
