 luna, Erica, Onosmoclium, Mertensia, Ceratophyllum, 

 Cypripedium, and Chara of the catalogue. Some of 

 these are represented so far by one single plant; and 

 of others reported by older botanists, no one now liv-

" I am under obligations to several friends for help 

 in this work } and must mention especially that I owe 

 the list of algre to Mr. F. S. Collins, who drew it up 

 from specimens principally collected by himself and 

 Mr. L. L. Dame of Medford. 



" The few miscellaneous cryptogams with which the 

 list closes appeal to friendly specialists for re-enforce- 

 ments ; without such aid they will have to go into the 

 next edition as lonely as they are now.
