LIST OF ILLUSTRATIONS 



WITH EXPLANATORY TEXT. 



Frontispiece. The Bartram Coat of Arms. Copied 

 from the book-plate pasted in the Bartram family bible, in 

 possession of the Pennsylvania Historical Society. Photo- 

 graphed and reproduced in heraldic colors by Mr. Julius F. 

 Sachse, especially for this book. In the old bible the coat of 

 arms, in color and on sheepskin, is also found, but is prob- 

 ably later than the book-plate, because the motto incorrectly 

 reads : " Je avance," and John Bartram's name below is in 

 modern type. The description of the Bartram arms is 

 given in a foot-note on page 60 of this book. 



1. Rapids Wissahickon Creek, Fairmount Park, repro- 

 duced by the Beck Engraving Company, from a photograph 

 taken by Ran, Philadelphia. 



2. View of the Wissahickon Creek about two miles 

 above its mouth, reproduced from a photograph taken by 

 Ran. 



3. Devil's Pool, Cresheim Creek, Wissahickon, Fair- 

 mount Park, taken by Ran before the bridge and improve- 

 ments were made, spoiling the romantic beauty of the spot, 

 therefore, about 1885. The pool is behind the boy seated at 

 the outlet. 



4. Eastern Systematic Beds, Greenhouses and Biological 

 Hall, University of Pennsylvania (looking west in Sep- 

 tember, 1896), before the completion of the Dormitories to 

 the right. Photographed by F. R. Newell, especially for the 

 author.
