Chamberlain, Edward Blanchard, PROVIDENCE, RHODE 
IstLAND. — Mr. Chamberlain's herbarium contains about 2300 speci- 
mens, of which 1550 are phaenogams and vascular cryptogams, 
and 750 are mosses. The phaenogams were collected in Bristol, 
Lincoln County, or Brunswick, Cumberland County, Maine, and the 
mosses in the eastern part of the United States, though the larger 
part are from Maine. 
Chadbourne, Paul Ansel. — The private herbarium of Presi- 
dent Chadbourne was, during his life, deposited at Williams College. 
After his death it was purchased from his heirs and given to Bates 
College, Lewiston, Maine, where it now remains. 
Churchill, Joseph Richmond, DORCHESTER, MASSACHUSETTS. 
— The herbarium of Judge Churchill contains about 5500 sheets, 
representing 2250 species and named varieties. Nearly all of them, 
probably 2200 species, are from the region covered by Gray’s 
Manual; the remainder were collected by Judge Churchill in Florida 
in 1897, and in North Carolina in 1899. The unique feature of this 
herbarium is that not only were all the plants collected by Judge 
Churchill, but from the field to the mounted specimens all the work 
has been done by himself alone. He has made no exchanges and 
declined all gifts. Notwithstanding this, he has an almost complete 
representation of the New England flora, and many plants from the 
Middle and Southern States. The collection was begun in 1869, 
and much care has been taken to gather the plants in both flower 
and fruit, to make full specimens, and to have them accurately and 
fully identified. ‘The herbarium is general so far as the flowering 
plants, ferns, and fern allies are concerned; the genus Carex, which 
numbers about 360 sheets, is perhaps exceptionally well represented. 
Collins, Frank Shipley, MALDEN, MASSACHUSETTS. — This 
private collection has been accumulating for twenty years and repre- 
sents the algae from all countries. It contains about 10000 sheets, 
and includes a full set of Collins, Holden, & Setchell, Phycotheca, 
Boreali-Americana. It is undoubtedly the best collection of algae 
in New England, with the exception of the Cryptogamic Herbarium 
of Harvard University.
