        1932.   Morand, F. W., collected plants in Mt McKinley Park in July 1932.
        1932.   Williams, Maxcine, Mrs., collected a few plants around Juneau, inter alia at Pybus Bay, Admiralty I.  She also took several photographs of Alaska plants, published in ADA W. SHARPLE'S book » Alaska Wild Flowers ».
        1932.   Setchell, William Albert, Dr., Professor of Botany at the Univ. of California, and his wife Clara B. Setchell, collected 619 numbers of Salix in Alaska and Yukon for Dr. CHARLETON R. BALL.  The specimens are in Dr. BALL'S herbarium in Univ. Calif. and duplicates in many other herbaria.   Acc. to BALL, SETCHELL collected in Alaska in 1931 also, but I have only seen specimens collected in 1932.   The following places were visited: in 1939 June 9 Ketchikan; June 14 Lake Benett, Cowley; June 16 Carmaks, Selkirk; June 17 Dawson; June 18 Circle. From this place one of the collectors, to judge from the labels, seems to have taken the Steese Highway to Fairbanks and then the railway to Nenana during June 18-July 1, while the other continued along the Yukon, visiting June 18 Fort Yukon, June 23 Ruby, June 24 Blackburn, June 25 Holy Cross and returning July 3 to Nenana.   On July 4-6 Cleary, 12 mile Roadhouse and Circle along the Steese Highway were visited, July 12 Mt McKinley Park, July 15 Matanuska, Bartlett Glacier and July 16 Hunter.   (The route is not quite clear, as the labels use a peculiar system of double dates, which do not always coincide.)  SETCHELL visited Alaska already in 1899. (See that year.)   A note on the 1931-32 trips was published by BALL in Mandroño 5. 1940, under the title »Dr. SETCHELL and Alaska Willows».    He there supposes that SETCHELL collected five species of Salix not previously known from Alaska.  As a matter of fact, all of them had been gathered there by earlier collectors.
        1932.   Hultén, O. Eric G., Dr., curator of the Botanical Museum of the University of Lund, Sweden, collected during a journey to the Aleutian Islands about 2500 numbers of plants, chiefly on the Aleutian Islands.   He was assisted by W. J. EYERDAM, who collected about 1800 numbers on this trip.  Altogether about 12000 sheets were collected.  Specimens in the author's herbarium, duplicates in Lund, Stockholm, Berlin, Kew, Brit Mus., Geneva, Washington, New York and Calif. Acad.   The material from the Aleutian lslands was published by the present author in »Flora of the Aleutian lslands» (Stockholm 1937).  The collection of Lichens were published by DEGELIUS (»Lichens from Southern Alaska and the Aleutian Islands collected
