Eggleston, Willard Webster, RurLAND, VERMONT. — In 
1886, while a student at Dartmouth College, Mr. Eggleston com- 
menced his herbarium, It now contains about 25000 specimens, 
including some 5000 species. It was commenced with the idea of 
representing the flora of the region covered by Gray’s Manual, but 
has extended west and south over the United States. It is specially 
rich in New England plants, Vermont and the White Mountains 
having the best representation. Mr. Eggleston has attempted to 
show geographical distribution and many of rarer plants are repre- 
sented from several stations. Among the New England plants 
which have been collected in the largest numbers are the Gramineae, 
the genera Astragalus, Crataegus, Amelanchier, Rubus, Aster, Soli- 
dago, Carex, Pycnanthemum, Scirpus, Eleocharis, and Potamogeton. 
This herbarium contains much of the material upon which the 
recently published Flora of Vermont, by Messrs. Brainerd, Jones 
and Eggleston was based,
