18 CONTRIBUTIONS FROM THE NATIONAL HERBARIUM. 
herbaria, while his private collection is among the best in the North- 
west. 
Mr. Thomas Howell, whose long and extensive labors have mainly 
been limited to Oregon, has nevertheless collected much in Washing- 
ton, especially in the counties bordering on the Columbia. Mr. 
Howell’s herbarium is now in the possession of the Oregon State 
University, but sets of his plants are widely distributed. A con- 
siderable collection of Klickitat County plants was also made by Mr. 
Joseph Howell. 
Professor L. F. Henderson, who has also collected much in Oregon, 
gathered rich material in the Olympic Mountains in 1890, and in 
1892 traveled over much of the State to make a collection for the 
Columbian World’s Fair. This is now in the State University at 
Seattle. Professor Henderson’s private herbarium, one of the most 
complete in its representation of North Pacific plants, was unfor- 
nately burned in the recent fire that destroyed the main building of 
the University of Idaho. 
Mr. T. S. Brandegee, Mr. Frank Tweedy, and Prof. E. W. Hilgard 
were associated with the North Transcontinental Survey organized 
in connection with the Northern Pacific Railway under Villard’s 
presidency. In connection with this work extensive collections were 
made, especially by Brandegee, in Walla Walla, Yakima, and Kitti- 
tas counties. The best set of these plants is in the Canby Herbarium, 
now in the New York College of Pharmacy. 
Dr. Sereno Watson visited Washington in 1880 in connection with 
the Tenth Census Survey of the forests. He made small collections 
at Yakima Pass, Lake Chelan, Fort Colville, and Spokane. The 
specimens are in the Gray Herbarium. 
Charles A. Ramm collected a small set of plants in 1883 in Spokane 
County, which were sent to Doctor Gray. 
Mr. George R. Vasey made extensive collections for the Department 
of Agriculture in 1889, principally in Yakima, Kittitas, and King 
counties. Sets of his plants are in the principal herbaria. His 
specimens, unfortunately, lack data regarding their exact place of 
collection. 
Mr. F. Binns collected plants from 1888 to 1890 about Port Ludlow, 
and sent them to the Gray Herbarium. 
Rey. Ernest C. Smith botanized in the vicinity of Seattle in 1889 
and 1890, in the latter year making collections on Mount Rainier. 
Dr. E. L. Greene collected in 1889 about Clealum, Yakima, and on 
Mount Rainier. 
Mr. J. M. Grant sent a few plants to the Gray Herbarium, col- 
lected in the Olympic Mountains in 1889. 
Mrs. Susan Tucker made collections near Cheney in 1889, and again 
in 1903.
