institution or locality, in the prosecution of any investigation 
which our locality and equipment ina}’ permit. I believe this 
represents the spirit of the Board of Trustees, the President, and 
all officially connected with the laboratory. I beleve this to be 
fully shown bj" the equipment already furnished and the attitude 
.shown in making these facilities equally acce.ssible to all who may 
desire to use them. We hope educators and scientific workers in 
our own and adjacent states especially will find it a profitable 
meeting ground and feel that its opportunities are open on the 
most liberal basis to all. 
It maj’ seem that the fragments of knowledge we gather are 
ver3" insignificant, and it is entirely possible that we maj" not 
make any startling discoveries, but we should remember that the 
great body of science consists of innumerable individual facts, 
blended and related to a harmonious whole — as individual grains 
of sand comprise the long stretch of land, the magnificent beach, 
and the .sightl}’ dunes which constitute the basis of our new home. 
So we may hope that in all the new facts we gather we shall be 
able to correlate them with those already- known, to blend them 
and round them to a more perfect s3-mmetr3’, in short to add 
perhaps minute but essential parts to the completion of great 
structures. 
F'inall3q I desire to express m3' profound thanks to the many 
who have evinced a cordial interest in our work, and especially 
to those who have taken the pains and time to be with us to-day. 
FLORA OF CEDAR POINT. 
W. A. Kellerm.\x and O. E. Jennings. 
This brief report represents the work on the Cedar Point Flora 
as completed to date, so far as listing the observed species is 
concerned. 
Various botanists had collected there in the past, — E. L. 
Mosele3', Wm. Krebs, Edo Claassen, L. D. Stair, W. A. Keller- 
man, and others, — but not until the publication of Prof. Moseley’s 
excellent Catalogue was there any comprehensive list of the 
plants of this region. In the “ Sandusky Flora ” Prof. Mose- 
le3" specifically reports 1 1 1 species for Cedar Point ; for most of 
the commoner plants of lirie Count3’ no particular localit3' was 
given 
In the Cedar Point Herbarium, prepared in 1903, and deposited 
at the Lake Laborator3', we have 316 species of the flowering 
plants and ferns mounted. Besides these there have been report- 
ed, either in the “ Sandusk3’ F'lora ” or ehsewhere, 71 .species 
more, thus making a total list for Cedar Point of 387 species of 
the flowering plants and ferns.
