In 1942, a good deal of confusion had resulted when 2,000 Summer School students view with 2,000 third-term students for space; this confusion did not occur again.

Altogether, there are 487 different "basic species" which occur regularly, plus 55 accidentals (recorded fewer than five times), for a grand total of 542 species.
