Besides the above many smaller collections were examined, about

vate individuals, among which may be mentioned the following: 
The Elliott Herbarium at the Charleston Museum, Charleston, 
South Carolina, containing the types of species described in Elliott’s 
Sketch of the Botany of South Carolina and Georgia.

The Gattinger Herbarium, at the University of Tennessee, Knox- 
ville, Tennessee. 
The private herbarium of Mr. W. W. Ashe, Forest Service, Wash- 
ington, D. C., containing the types of many species described by him 
in the Journal of the Elisha Mitchell Society. For several years this 
herbarium has been in storage and not easily accessible. Mr. Ashe 
kindly loaned a portion of the collection of Panicum in December, 
1905. A second portion was sent in February, 1908. Certain of Mr. 
Ashe’s type specimens were not included in either of those loans, but 
they may become accessible at some future time. These are men- 
tioned under the appropriate species. 
The private herbarium of Prof. F. Lamson-Scribner, which was 
partially destroyed by fire in 1894. The remaining portion, consisting 
of the Paniceae, Poa, and a part of the Agrostideac, together with 
subsequent additions, was purchased by A. S. Hitchcock in 1905 and 
is now at the United States Department of Agriculture.
