Supplement. 
That portion of the Catalogue which includes the names of 
our phznogamous plants was published early in the summer of 
1882. Circumstances, for which the compiler and his associ- 
ates in charge of its publication are in no degree responsible, 
have operated to prevent the appearance of the remainder of 
the work until the present time. This delay, however, has 
proved to be not altogether without compensations and advan- 
tages. By reason of it the opportunity has been given to bring 
the list much nearer completeness than otherwise would have 
been possible. Omissions, attributable to inadvertence or mis- 
understanding, have been supplied, doubts in respect to various 
questions have been settled, and the addition made of more 
than seventy-five phenogams which were then unknown as 
members of our Flora. 
In fact, after the introduction to the Catalogue was in print, 
and whilst the list of phzenogams was in the hands of the 
compositor, several species were, for the first time, detected 
within our territory, the names of which were at once assigned 
to their proper places in the list. Hence the discrepancy, 
(observed no doubt by many) between the number of the species 
of several genera, as stated in the introduction, and the number 
of the same as shown in the Catalogue itself. The preceding 
“Tabular View ” has been designed to correct this discrepancy 
and display at a glance the numerical proportion which the 
species and genera of each family of our plants bears to our 
entire Flora. 
The compiler has great pleasure in acknowledging the im- 
portant kindness received by him from Judge CLintTon, who, 
with no little labor, prepared and placed at his use a list of
