at Sitka between 1800—08. Collections in Leningrad, some duplicates

collected a few specimens about this time at Sitka and Kodiak.
1859—65. Kennicott, Robert, director of the museum of the
Chicago Acad, of Sc. In 1859 he reached Fort Yukon from the. east over
an inland route. In 1864 he was attached to the Western Union Tele-
graph Company and proceeded together with Rothrock, Dall, El-
liott, Bannister, Bisciioff and olhers lo Sitka. In 1865 he died at
Anvik. Small botanical collections in Nat. Herb., Washington. The
specimens are mostly labelled »Alaska» only.
1865—1895. Dall, William Healey, accompanied Kennicott to
Alaska in 1865 and visited Sitka, the Shu magi n Is, Unalaska, St. Paul L
and St. Michael. He spent the years 1865—68 in the Yukon valley.
In 1871—74 he surveyed the Alaskan coast from Sitka to the western-

Survey. May 16, 1874, he collected at Lituya Bay, May 31 at. Port

the coast from Sitka to Unalaska and Point Barrow, and again in
1895 he travelled in Alaska. The fairly large collections are found in
Nat. Herb., Washington, duplicates in Gray Herb, and other places.
The specimens, which were originally labelled with date and place,
now, at least in Nat. Herb., mostly bear the label »Alaska». The
duplicates found in Gray Herb, are, however, usually well labelled.

has become a classical source of information concerning Alaska. It in-
cludes a »List of useful plants indigenous in the territory of Alaska».
He also published several other papers, some of which have an
agricultural bearing (»Report upon the Agricultural resources of Alaska»
in Rep. Dept. Agricult. 1868 and »Remarks upon the natural history
of Alaska» in Proc. Boston Soc. Nat. Hist. 12, 1869).
