began his herbarium of New England plants, and has increased it 
steadily year by year. He has 552 genera of phaenogams and vas- 
cular cryptogams consisting of 1535 species and 55 varieties, mounted 
on 2900 sheets. Of these species 139 belong to the pteridophytes, 
143 to the Gramineae, and 142 to the Cyperaceae, the genus Carex 
alone containing 96 species. This herbarium is carefully arranged 
and fully indexed which facilitates botanical work in it. 
Furbish, Kate, Brunswick, Maine.— Miss Furbish has a 
herbarium which represents her collections in the different parts of 
Maine during the last twenty-five years. It is partly organized and 
contains many of the plants represented by her paintings of the flora 
of Maine. 
Graves, Charles Burr, New Lonpon, Connecricut.— The 
herbarium of Dr. Graves represents chiefly the flora of New London, 
Connecticut, but includes also some specimens from the White 
Mountains and western Massachusetts. Large collections have 
been made of the Gramineae, Cyperaceae, and vascular cryptogams, 
while the genera Aster, Solidago, and Prunus are well represented. 
This collection, of perhaps 2000 specimens, contains mosses as well 
as phaenogams and ferns.

and about 350 species, or 400 sheets, of the lower cryptogams. Nearly 
15 per cent of these plants have been collected by Mr. Harger, who 
has made an attempt to represent as completely as possible the flora 
of Connecticut, and especially that of the town of Oxford.
