1882 are those employed by Watson, in his " Bibliographical Index to 

 Day North American Botany," so far as that valuable work has 



issued from the press. But where such names differ from those 

 given by Gray, in the fifth edition of his Manual, the latter will 

 be found in parentheses. In a very few instances the compiler 

 has ventured to differ from both of these pre-eminent authorities, 

 and has used the names applied by other botanists. 



The fact is entitled to notice that now, probably for the first 

 time in America, a local catalogue is published in which the 

 plants of all the classes in the vegetable kingdom are included. 

 Usually, heretofore, such catalogues have not extended beyond 

 the Vascular Cryptogams : — very rarely, indeed, have they com- 

 prehended the Musci and Hepaticae.

This catalog was prepared in response to the request of the Com- 

 missioners of the State Reservation. 



It is, however, a matter for great regret that references to the 

 botany of the Falls, especially in the reports of the earlier 

 explorers, have proved so few in number. It seems probable that
