He collected at Sitka in Aug. 1899 and at Yakutat in September
1901.
1899-1901. Cantwell,
J. C., commander of the Revenue Steamer Nuniwak 1899-1901, collected
plants along Yukon R. from the mouth 1000 miles upstream.
The collections were deposited with the Acad. of Sc. in San Francisco
and were certainly destroyed in the great earthquake. A list of
the species determined by A. Eastwood was published by CANTWELL in U.
S. Revenue Cutter Serv. (Rep. on the operations of the U. S. Rev. steamer
Nuniwak on the Yukon R. station, Alaska 1899-1901).
1899-1900. Osgood,
Wilfred H., Assistant Biologist, U. S. Biol. Surv., collected
in 1899 along Yukon R. from the sources to Fort Yukon and also at St.
Michael. In 1900 he made a small collection near Hope and around
Tyonek at Cook Inlet. The plants were determined by COVILLE and
a list, partly based on field identifications, was published in N. Amer.
Fauna 21 (1901). Another report, containing notes on plants based
on a trip undertaken in 1902 to Alaska Penins., was published in N. Amer.
Fauna 24 (1904) under the title »A biological reconnaissance of
the base of the Alaska Peninsula». In 1903 OSGOOD again
visited Yukon, entering from Lynn Canal and working around Eagle and Circle
during June-August. A trip was made to Glacier Mt, Seward Creek,
at the end of August.
1899. Fernow,
B. E., collected. single specimens at La Perouse glacier.
1899. Coville,
Frederick Vernon; Kearney, Thomas H. Jr.; Trelease,
William; Saunders, de Alton; Brewer,
W. H.; Coe, Wesley Roswell; Palache,
Charles; Kincaid, Trevor and Cole, Leon
Jacob, were all members of the Expedition to Alaska organized
by Mr. E. H. HARRIMAN of New York City, which comprised 25 scientific
members. The phanerogamic plants were chiefly collected by COVILLE
& KEARNEY and the cryptogamic by TRELEASE & SAUNDERS, but the
other members enumerated above also contributed to the botanical collections.
Occasionally other members of the scientific staff also collected
single botanical specimens. A large and well-prepared material was
brought together, which is now the nucleus of the Alaskan material in
Nat. Herb., Washington. Only a few duplicates were distributed to
other herbaria. The following places were visited: June 4
New Metlakatla: June 5 Wrangell, Farragut Bay, Taku Hbr; June 6 Douglas
and Juneau; Skagway, June 7 White Pass; June 8-13 Glacier Bay (chiefly
Muir Inlet and Pt Gustavus); June 14-17 Sitka;
