all the private collection of Prof. Brewer has been given to the 
Department of Agriculture, Washington, but he retains a small un-

Burt, Edward Angus, MIDDLEBURY, VERMONT.— Dr. Burt 
commenced collecting specimens about twenty years ago while a 
student, but the larger part of his herbarium has been accumulated 
during the last eight years. Of phaenogams he has about 700 spe- 
cies collected by himself in eastern New York. The cryptogams 
are more fully represented and of wider range, the chief part being 
fungi, though lichens, mosses, and some algae are included. These 
are from United States and Europe. Dr. Burt is developing his 
herbarium along the lines of Basidiomycetes, Ascomycetes, and Myxomy- 
cetes, making it of special value as a working herbarium and includ- 
ing in this part about 500 specimens of the rarer European species. 
Among the collections represented are Calkins, North American 
lichens; Collins, Holden, & Setchell, Phycotheca Boreali-Americana ; 
and Ellis & Everhard, Eleven centuries of North American fungi. 
Carey, John. — The first collection which Mr. Carey made was 
destroyed by fire in New York. The American botanists endeavored 
to repair this loss, and another large herbarium was formed, critically 
studied, and carefully annotated. In 1869 Mr. Carey presented this 
collection to the Kew Gardens. It is therefore in charge of Sir W. 
T. Thiselton Dyer, Director of the Royal Gardens, Kew, England. 
! The Herbarium of Brown University has just acquired by purchase the valu- 
able collection of Prof. W. W. Bailey, described in RHODORA, iii. 69.
