Willey, Henry, New Beprorp, Massacuusetts. — The collec- 
tion of Lichens formed by Mr. Willey during the last forty years con- 
tained several thousand specimens and was arranged by him systema- 
tically in two divisions. One division contained the Lichens of New 
Bedford, about 300 species with drawings, and the other the Lichens 
of other parts of the United States and foreign countries. These 
now are in possession of the U. S. National Museum, at Washington, 
E. 
Wiliams, Emile Francis, BosroN, MassACHUSETTS. — Mr. 
Williams’ herbarium contains about 400oo mounted specimens and 
is arranged systematically. ‘The plants are mostly from New England, 
but New Jersey, eastern New York, and that part of Canada north of 
New England are included owing to their interest in connection with 
the New England flora. The plants of the White Mountains are 
specially well represented, Mr. Williams having collected every 
species known to grow above the timber line in this region. This 
herbarium is also intended to show the distribution of plants, there- 
fore specimens from many localities in each state are preserved; the 
largest number of specimens are from Maine, New Hampshire, Ver- 
mont, and Eastern Massachusetts. Some of the collectors whose 
work is represented in this herbarium are Messrs. C. H. Bissell, 
E. Brainerd, W. Deane, E. H. Eames, W. Wi Eggleston, E. & C. E. 
Faxon, M. L. Fernald, G. G. Kennedy and W. P. Rich. 
Williams College, WILLIAMSTOWN, MASSACHUSETTS, — The her- 
barium at Williams College, Professor S. F. Clarke in charge, is a 
small one. It contains the herbarium of F. H. Bumstead, M. D., in 
which are specimens of ferns from the Wilkes Exploring Expedition, 
from D. C. Eaton and from Charles Wright. . Here also are 23 vol- 
umes of plants which formed the herbarium of John Pierce Brace. 
Yale University, Netw Haven, Connecticut. — The basis of 
this herbarium is the collection made by Professor D. C. Eaton, who 
commenced the work about 1850. During Professor Eaton’s life 
the herbarium was his private property but after his death in 1896 
it was given to Yale University by his son Dr. G. F. Faton. It is 
estimated to contain 60000 specimens and well illustrates the North 
American flora but also contains many specimens from other parts 
of the world. The most famous part of this herbarium is the col- 
lection of ferns including Professor Eaton's types. The herbarium 
is now in charge of Dr. A. W. Evans.
