Notes:
Consists of three field notebooks listing dates, general locations and names of plants found by Olney and a listing of algae, 1847. Notes probably used by Olney in preparing his Rhode Island floras.
Olney was educated in Providence, R.I. and founded the Wauskuck Co., a woolens firm, with Jesse Metcalf. After attaining business success, Olney pursued botanical interests. He published a section on Carex in Sereno Watson's Botany (1871) and a list of Rhode Island algae (1871); and established a private herbarium and botanical library.
