BOTANY 
REPORT BY HOMER D. HOUSE, State Botanist 
Scientific investigations. The investigative work of the State 
Botanist during the past year has been directed chiefly toward the 
completion of an annotated list of plants of the State which is 
now being printed. This has involved much bibliographic work as 
well as study of the plants in the state herbarium. Collections and 
field studies have been carried on in the vicinity of Newcomb, Essex 
county ; Watertown, and the east shore of Lake Ontario, in Jefferson 
county, and the vicinity of Oneida lake in the central part of the 
State. Collections of plants from these and other localities, which 
are of scientific interest have been incorporated into the herbarium. 
The ferns and flowering plants of peculiar interest, as well as new 
or rare species of fungi form the basis for scientific papers which 
will appear in the next Annual Report of the State Botanist. 
Contributions to the state herbarium. The accessions to the 
state herbarium during the past year in the form of contributions 
and exchanges are presented in the following list of contributors, 
which also indicates the number of specimens received from each.
