§ 136. Libraries and Herbaria, I. 
We have some notes on these subjects and desire more. It is © 
our intention from time to time to give such an account of these 
collections throughout the country as may facilitate investigations, 
and be a guide to visitors to the several localities. -We begin at 
home, with New York, and the Torrey Herbarium. 
The Torrey Herearium and Lisrary is in one of the buildings 
attached to Columbia College, on 49th Street and Madison Avenue. 
To the collection of Dr. Torrey, which is estimated to contain 35,000 
species, the Meissner Herbarium was added by the liberality of Mr... 
J. J. Crooke, a member of the Club, and since that the Herbarium 
of Dr. Chapman has been added by the same enlightened liberality, 
so that there are now gathered in this one Herbarium, specimens of 
tient from seventy-five to eighty thousand species of plants. 
This collection is especially valuable as containing very many typical 
specimens of American plants, in determining which, as is well 
known, Dr. Torrey was one of the chief authorities. The sheets, 
moreover, are often greatly enhanced in value by the fine drawings 
which Dr. Torrey often made on them, in elucidation of his observa- 
tions of structure. 
The Library is estimated to contain about thirteen hundred 
volumes in all departments of Botany. 
The Herbarium and Library are in charge of Mr. P. V. Le Roy, 
the Curator appointed by the College, whose courtesy in assisting 
investigators is well known. : 
§ 137. Fern Photographs.—We have received from Mr. Wm. 
Edwards, of South Natick, Mass., two beautiful nature-printed 
photographs of ferns, the one card containing thirty-four North 
American ferns ; the other thirty-three, mostly exotics. The gen- 
eral characteristics of the species are well given, and the cards, when 
framed, form a handsome picture, about 16 x 14 inches each, without 
the frame. They may be obtained from Mr. Edwards by sending 
him one dollar for each, or five dollars for six. 
Terms—One Dollar per annwm beginning with the January number, 12 cents for postage. 
For the Botanical Directory 30 cents. Supplement to Directory, 10 cents. Vols. I-V., with 
index, and photograph of Dr. Torrey, $3.75. Copies of Constitution and By-Laws of the Club, 
25 cents. Address, Wm. H. Leaa@ett, 224, E. Tenth Street, New York, Money Orders on

The Club meets regularly the last Tuesday of the month in the Herbarvum, Columbia College, 
at g P.M. Botanists are invited to attend. Dr. THURBER, the President of the Club, may 
be found at 245 Broadway.
