Tl. una the names of very nearly all the phaenogamous and cryptogamous plants 



found about a hundred miles north and south of San Francisco, and as far east as Mounl Diablo. Some 

 plants were omit! eoially the shrubl y oaks) since i< was impossible to determine their proper 



eifie nanus. The two important families, the Fungi and Algsa have been entirely omitted; no one as fur 

 as I know, has made thorn a subject of investigation and study on this ooast. The ferns, mosses, liver- 

 worts and lichens were sni.lio-l by the very best authorities in America.
