M 16 British Columbia. 1922 



Other plants identified included a mounted series of over 100 species from South Park 

 School. These specimens, while not of full herbarium size, were exceedingly well prepared and 

 reflect great credit on those pupils and teachers responsible for the work. A large series of 

 unmounted plants were identified for Happy Valley, Kingston Street, and other schools. 



Again this past season Miss M. Lawson. of the Colonist staff, undertook, for the benefit of 

 the children, the task of editing a Flower Calendar in the Sunday edition of the Daily Colonist 

 of plants collected by children from various schools and districts. A large number of plants 

 were identified weekly, and a marked improvement in the condition of specimens sent in was 

 noticeable over last year, especialh' among a few of those who were consistent in sending a 

 series in every week. 



Mrs. Agnes Chase, Acting Systematic Agrostologist of the Bureau of Plant Industry. United 

 States Department of Agriculture, YVashiugton, D.C., very kindly examined and determined our 

 collection of grasses, which is now revised under present nomenclature. This revision has 

 added several species to the list of Vancouver Island flora. 



In the latter part of the summer a " Preliminary Catalogue of the Flora of Vancouver and 

 Queen Charlotte Islands " was received from the hands of the printers, and copies have been 

 distributed to most of the scientific institutes and colleges in America and other countries, and 

 up to the present time we have received numerous applications for copies from teachers and 

 others interested in botany, residing in many portions of this Province.
