ecting unusual plants during his many trips in various portions of the State, from 1892 to 1902, in pursuit of his entomological studies. His plants are deposited in the herbarium of the West Virginia Agricultural Experiment Station, with duplicates in the Herbarium of the Field Museum of Natural History.
(36) Prof. A(mos) A(rthur) Heller, of the University of Nevada, did considerable plant collection on Kates Mountain and the neighborhood of White Sulphur Springs in Greenbrier County in 1893. A set of his plants is deposited in the herbarium of the Field Museum of Natural History with the balance of his private herbarium.

(37) L(ee) C(leveland) Corbett, while engaged in forest field work for the West Virginia Agricultural Experiment Station, collected a number of plants from 1894 to 1896; these are in the herbarium of the Station.

(38) W(illiam) Mc(Cally) Pollock, while a student at the University of West Virginia, collected largely, from 1893 to 1897, in Lewis, Upshur, Preston, Pocahontas, Taylor and Wood counties, and from 1898 to 1899 in Monongalia County. The full number of plants he secured amounted to about 1700 specimens. His prime series was accidentally destroyed. Sets of over a hundred duplicates are in the herbaria of the Field Museum of Natural History, New York Botanical Garden, and U S. National Museum.

(39) W(illiam) E(arle) Rumsey, of the Department of Entomology, University of West Virginia, collected a considerable number of plants in various parts of the State while engaged in entomological field work, from 1894 to 1899. His plants are in the herbarium of the West Virginia Agricultural Experiment Station

(40) Allen & Britton. Drs. T. F. Allen and Nathaniel L. Britton collected for one full day in May, 1897, in the neighborhood of White Sulphur Springs, Greenbrier Covmty. They secured from 40 to 50 species of especial interest, which were deposited in the herbarium of Columbia University, now a part of the herbarium of the New York Botanical Garden. (See also 1872 T.

His collecting in this region has been of a highly discriminating character, confined to selecting only such plants as appeared to differ from the usual form. His specimens are in the U. S. National Herbarium, with a few particularly interesting duplicates in the herbarium of the Field Museum of Natural History.
