Arthur James, of the U. S. Geol. Surv., collected about 260 specimens
in the Cape Nome Region and at Golofnin Bay in 1900 and along Yukon R.
from the mouth to Dawson in 1902. They are now in Nat. Herb., Washington.
A report on the vegetation at Cape Nome (Notes on the Vegetation Reconnaissance
in the Cape Nome and Norton Bay Regions, Alaska, in 1900) was published
by COLLIER in BROOK's report of the survey (Reconn. Cape Nome and Norton
Bay Reg., Alaska, 1900. 513 Congr. 2nd sess. House of Repr. Doc. 547.
Washington 1901). A list of the plants, identified by COVILLE, is
given in this work. A report of the works done in 1902 was published
in U. S. Geol. Surv., Bull 218 (1903). The following places
were visited: In 1900 several places on Seward Penins., chiefly Niukluk
R., Krusgamapa R., White Mt and Cheenek. In 1902 June 17 Forty Mile R.;

1900-1901. Walpole,
Frederick Andrews, artist of the U. S. Dept. of Agricult., collected

of preparing illustrations of plants for the volumes of the Harriman Alaska
Expedition. His collections from Seward Penins., comprising 665
numbers, were the largest obtained from this region up to that time.
The collections are preserved in Nat. Herb., Washington. His
drawings and water-colour skelches of plants, which are very beautiful
and accurate and comprise a couple of hundred sheets, are kept in Nat.
Herb., Washington. A few were published in the volumes of the Harriman
Alaska Exp. The following places were visited: May 17, 1900 Sitka; June
