Parry, and Messrs. Hall ani J.P. Harbour, during the Summer and Autumn of 1862, on and near the Rocky Mountains, in Colorado Territory, lat. 39°—41°. BY ASA GRAY. An senna account by Dr. Parry of his first explorations of the Rocky Col Mountains in Colorado Territory, made in the summer of 1861, was published in th ic ournal of Science and Arts, 62° This was - lowed by an enumeration of the plants in the choice botanical collection which he made, as determined by myself, Dr. Engelm others. import- ance of this pioneer exploration, both in a physico-geographical and a botani- cal point of view, T. ¥ and extend it the following year, ertake more full xact 0 tions upon the configuration of the district, and the altitude of the loftier peaks, and to a larger collection. In the latter view, Dr. Parry wasjoi y two zealous and oined b enterprisin; cal companions, Messrs. Hall and Harbour, of Illinois, who devoted their entire energies to the collection of plants. The botanical col- lection, accordingly, through these conjoint labors and explorations, is full, excellent, and of great interest. Along with a fair p new to science or new to the region, it brings to light and makes accessible to bot- generally, y late Mr. Nuttall’s discoveries st thirty lf a century ago, authentic specimens of which hardly exist, except in the herbarium of the Academy, in that of Mr. Durand, at Philadel Iphia, and in i t Kew. is regar name and scientific biltoer of Nuttall with Phi elie ees and es po gh ith the rsa! of Natural Mngt publisher of many of his ~e writings, and the proprietor of his principal botanical collections,—that I have deemed it an proper to offer the following enumeration for publication in the Aca s Proceedings. This en a find is but a ip soa eel of the collection in hand. It oe have “aba mes a extended by descriptions, remarks, and references ; and som of the determinations may proba’ hy have to be reconsidered. But I deem it ‘best for our science to publish it at once, as it is, that 3 may be early in the hands of botanists along with the distributed sets of specimens, thus en- ess c the prompt co rrection - arqmlahts, omissions, or mistakes on my part, ot hick there may be not Bee nenimahes, that the general collection, aaiaiane oe by the — conjointly, is distributed under the tickets of Messrs.
