6 for mosquitoes, promises to be one of the best that I have seen in the barrens, and should be unusually good for the spring. Oct. 28 (Monday) The material along the Salt marsh east of Babylon is really in deep (Willet's Creek). Most of the Astors collected prove to be A. dumosus under variable forms. Oct. 29 (Tuesday) Jump over Dutton's collection; most of the New Jersey material of Roripa is R. islandica, the European species. The leaves of Pyrenethenum aristatum, collected in N.J., are very broadly oval and have a thick fleshy feeling, much more so than the bulk of material examined. Oct. 30 (Wednesday) The herbarium cases in the center of the floor were moved cross the hall. Sent Lactuca collections to Stebbins. Bidens heterodoxa var. monardifolia does not seem so very distinct from B. connata at least the specimens which I collected. Identified Mina lobata, seeds from Schlipf's. This belongs in Compositaceae. I pressed first the Sperisuce then the Solanacee, but found it readily through the family keys in Wettstein. Oct. 31 (Thursday) Finished ties in labels on various herbarium specimens. Through Germ and Desmodium in the Dutton collection. G. virginianum L.= G. flavum. G. Coccineum Murr.= G. virginianum [Merr. et al?] G. alypium var. striatum (Aster) = G. striatum
