EXPLORATION AND COLLECTIONS. 655 



dence (8168-8247, 8323-8343, 8370-8413, 8434-8437) and four on Hog 

 Island (8248-8322, 8344-8469, 8414^8433). The coUeotions are deposited 

 in duplicate in the herbaria of the New York Botanical Garden and the 

 Meld iluscum. 



1910. Small and Carter. Feeling that the central portion of Andros, fifteen 

 miles from the sea, might yield species not to be found on any other of the 

 islands, Dr. John K. Small and Mr. Joel J. Carter were commissioned by 

 the New York Botanical Garden and the Field Museum of Natural History 

 to make a thorough survey of the interior, especially in the Fresh Creek 

 region, the broadest part of the island. This they thoroughly did and 

 added two other central areas to their field of exploration (see Jour. N. Y. 

 Bot. Gard. 11: 88-101). Beginning January 15, 1910, they collected on 

 Mangrove Cay at Lisbon Creek (8439-8540), passed southward to Deep 

 Creek (8541-8637), and worked northward to Smith Hill (8638-8689), 

 Crow HOI (8690-8746), Fresh Creek (8747-S841), Staniard Creek (8842- 

 8919) and concluded their work at the north end of the island: Nichol's 

 Town (8920-8976). 



From, the fact that these two indefatigable and acute Florida Everglade 

 workers failed to bring to light more than 8 species not before accredited 

 to the Bahamas in our lists it would appear : first, that the great breadth of 

 Andros does not mitigate the salinity; second, that previous collecting had 

 pretty thoroughly covered the flora of the group. 



1911. Millspaugh and MUlspaugh. C F. iXUlspaugh and his wife (Clara 

 Mitchell Millspaugh) undertook, in February and March, 1911, a survey of 

 the Turk's and Caicos Islands in order to ascertain the most southerly ex- 

 tension of the species of this Flora. They collected on Grand Turk Island 

 (8981-9059; 9324^9347; 9378-9390) ; then, chartering a sloop, investigated 

 the following islands: East Caicos (9060-9114) ; Grand Caicos (9115- 

 9122) ; North Caicos (9123-9191) ; Bay Cay (9192) ; Parrot Cay (9193- 

 9204); Stubb's Cay (9205-9210); Pine Cay (9211-9215); Dellis' Cay 

 (9216-9225); South Caicos (9226-923i3; 9240-9247); Long Cay (9234- 

 9239; 9274); Salt Cay (9248-9262; 9392); Sand Cay (9263-9270; 9391); 

 Ambergris Cay (9275-9316); Little Ambergris Cay (9317-9323); Long 

 •Cay (Turk's) (9348-9350); Gibbs' Cay (9351-9356); Cotton Cay (9357- 

 9363); Penniston Cay (9364); and East ("Eastern") Cay (9365-9377).
