Hervey, Eliphalet Williams, New BEDFORD, MASSACHUSETTS, 
— The herbarium of Mr. Hervey, containing about 1200 species, was 
collected chiefly during the years between 1860 and 1890. The 
plants in it are for the most part local and represent an area of about 10 
miles in diameter around the city of New Bedford, many of them hav- 
ing been collected on the shores of Buzzards Bay. The larger part 
of the specimens were collected by Mr. Hervey and formed the basis 
of his Flora of New Bedford. |
