(43) Edward S(trieby) Steele spent the latter half of August and the first half of September, 1898, collecting, with the aid of Mrs. Steele, in the neighborhood of Aurora, Preston County. He secured about 325 numbers, the first set of which he deposited in the U. S. National Herbarium.

In 1903, and again in 1905, he collected near Old Sweet Springs, Monroe County ; in 1906 he spent one day at White Sulphur Springs, Greenbrier County, searching particularly for plants of the genus Laciniaria. In 1910, while collecting in Garret County, Maryland, he utilized a small part of his time gathering specimens across the line in Grant County, W. Va. ; this he also did in 1911, in Hardy County, while occupied principally on the Virginia slopes of North Mountain, near Orkney Springs. Those later collections are also deposited in the U. S.

National Herbarium, Washington.

(44) Pollard & Maxon. Charles L(ouis) Pollard and William R(alph) Maxon collected during the latter part of August, 1899, in Fayette County, near Quinnimont and in Summers County, near Lowell. Of the 125 numbers they secured about 30 were new to the Flora of the State as known at that date. Their plants are deposited in the U. S. National Herbarium, Washington, D. C. (See "Proceedings of the Biological Society of Washington, Vol. 14:161-163).

(45) E(dward) L(yman) Morris, Curator, Brooklyn Institute Museum, while engaged in field work for the U. S. Fish Commission in 1900, made a collection of plants in that region of the State lying south of the New, Greenbrier and Kanawha Rivers in Summers, Monroe, Mercer, McDowell, Raleigh and Wyoming Counties. His collection of 397 numbers was made in July and August of a particularly dry season ; it is deposited in the National Herbarium, Washington, D. C. (See his "Some Plants of West Virginia" in the Bulletin of the Biological Society of Washington, Vol. 13:171-182 (1900).

(46) Henry C(urtis) Beardslee spent the Summer of 1900 collecting principally fleshy fungi, in the neighborhood of Brookside, Preston County. His collections, numbering about 600 specimens, are in his private herbarium at Asheville, N. C. (See his "Notes on the Boleti of West Virginia" in "Torreya." Vol. 1:37-39).

(47) Captain K. D. Walker, of Fairmont, West Virginia, contributed a few plants of his collecting to the West Virginia Experiment Station, in 1891. They are from Little Falls, Monongalia County, and are deposited in the herbarium of the Station.

(48) C(urtis) G(ates) Lloyd, of the Lloyd Herbarium, Cincinnati, Ohio, collected for about a fortnight at Eglon, Preston County, in 1901. His specimens, principally fungi, are preserved in the Lloyd Herbarium, Cincinnati, Ohio.

(49) Prof. W(illiam) A(shbrook) Kellerman, late professor of Botany in the University of Ohio, collected, principally fungi at Durbin and Marlinton, Pocahontas County, in August, 1902.

I am unfortunately unable to establish the extent of or locate his specimens at this time.
