There were 2025 species reported in the Fourth State Catalogue 
(1899) for the State of Ohio. This number was supposed to be approx- 
imately correct, since those of previous lists were discarded which 
are known to have been erroneously identified or were unquestiona- 
bly beyond our range. In the First Annual Supplement sixty-nine 
additions were made, and in Additions to the Ohio'Flora, (O. S. U. 
Naturalist, 1:15) twenty-two more were recorded. Therefore those 
enumerated above bring our grand total to 2128 species of Pteri- 
dophytes and Spermatophytes.
