Arethusa bulbosa L. have also been reported from this vicinity.—

INSTALLATION OF THE Peck TESTIMONIAL Exutsit.— The late 
Charles Horton Peck, State Botanist of New York from 1867 to 1915, 
made his name familiar outside of strictly botanical circles, to a widely 
scattered and constantly increasing number of amateurs, especially 
those interested in the fleshy fungi. To their inquiries for information 
in regard to these perplexing plants he was always ready with an 
interested and painstaking reply. With the means at his command 
he endeavored in his annual reports to increase and spread popular 
knowledge of the poisonous and edible species, and this object he 
kept before him assiduously for over forty years, so that his name 
became and will remain associated with these plants in America 
more widely than that of any other botanist. 
As a fitting memorial of this service, there has been installed in 
the State Museum of New York a series of life-size models of certain 
conspicuous species. To quote from a recent letter from H. D. 
House, the present State Botanist of New York: 
“The final installation was completed only a few days prior to his 
[Mr. Peck’s] death which occurred on July 10, 1917. The models, 
57 in number, and representing 55 species are the work of Mr. Henri 
Marchand, an artist and sculptor of rare ability. The models are 
made of wax from casts in the field, and reproduce with perfect 
fidelity to nature, the form, coloring and habitat of each species.” 
The many friends and beneficiaries of the late mycologist will not 
fail to recognize the peculiar fitness of this testimonial— H. W. 
Vol. 19, no. 225, including pages 169 to 220 and plate 123, was issued 
11 October, 1917.
