(22) S(amuel) B(oari)man) Brown, Professor of Geology, West Virginia University, formerly Principal of the Normal School at Glenville, collected a large number of plants in Berkeley and Gilmer counties from 1885 to 1890. Of these he preserved about 100 specimens which are still in his possession.
(23) (Charles) David White, Geologist of the U. S. Geological Survey, while engaged in paleobotanical collection in various portions of the State from 1880 to 1894, collected a few recent plants, principally ferns ; these are deposited in the U. S. National Herbarium, Washington, D. C.
(24) Miss Verona Mapel, then Preceptress of the High School at Glenville, Gilmer County, collected largely in her immediate neighborhood from 1888 to 1901. Her material, consisting of about 355 species (not including common weeds nor the grasses and sedges), is deposited in the herbarium of the school mentioned.
(25) Dr. Rosencrans Workman, a Physician at Bayard, Mineral County, collected a representative series of the flowering plants of his immediate neighborhood from 1888 to 1891. His material (which he loaned me for examination in 1891) is in his private possession.
(26) Winfield E. Hill, notes in "Garden and Forest" (Vol. 3: 182-183, 1890), a few plants from Fairview, Hancock County, observed in 1889. Whether he has preserved a collection of plants from his region I am unable to determine at this writing.
(27) Dr. H(amilton) McS(parkin) Gamble, a Physician at Moorefield, Hardy County, did considerable herbalizing in connection with zoological field work in the valley of the South Branch of the Potomac River, and its water shed in Hardy, Grant, Mineral and Hampshire counties from 1889 to 1910. He donated his plant collection of 157 species (in 1891) to the herbarium of the West Virginia Agricultural Experiment Station, at Morgantown, where it is now deposited.
(28) M(erton) B(enway) Waite, Pathologist, Bureau of Plant Industry, U. S. Department of Agriculture, spent about a week, in 1889, in Fayette and Greenbrier Counties, in the collection of parasitic fungi. He secured about 300 numbers at Kanawha Falls and about 200 at White Sulphur Springs. As his plants were distributed in the herbarium of the Bureau, unlisted, they are unfortunately unavailable for this publication. In 1911 he collected a few numbers of like material in Berkeley County, near Gerrardstown ; and Morgan County, at Sleepy Creek, Paw Paw and Hancock. His plants are deposited, as above indicated, in
the herbarium of the U. S. Bureau of Plant Industry.
