PRINCIPAL BOTANICAL COLLECTIONS MADE IN 



BERMUDA. 



1. Dickenson, J. The oldest botanical specimens collected in Bermuda 



are those of John Dickenson, obtained about 1699, and preserved 

 in the Sloane collection in the herbarium of the British Museum of 

 Natural History, representing 12 species. 



2. Lane, A. W. A collection of somewhat over 100 species was made 



by Lane prior to 1845, and is preserved in the herbarium of the 

 Royal Gardens at Kew. 



3. Holton, I. F. Holton, who collected extensively in Colombia and 



elsewhere in tropical America, touched at Bermuda, in 1854 and col- 

 lected some botanical specimens, which are preserved in the Torrey 

 Herbarium of Columbia University and in the Kew Herbarium. 



4. Kemp, A. F. As a student of algae, Kemp visited Bermuda in 1856 



and made considerable collections, which are preserved in his pri- 

 vate herbarium, which is still in the possession of his family. 



5. Jones, J. M. As an all around naturalist, Jones made zoological col- 



lections in Bermuda prior to 1859, and subsequently established a 

 museum for these and his other collections at Halifax. Although 

 an author of three somewhat extensive papers on the Botany, I have 

 not been able to ascertain if his collections are preserved. They are 

 not now in the Provincial Museum of Halifax. It is possible that 

 he made no botanical collections. 



6. Rein, J. J. Rein was a tutor of the son of Governor Ord in Bermuda 



during at least parts of the period between 1861 and 1863, at which 

 time he made a considerable collection, both of land plants and of 

 algae; the specimens of land plants collected by him are preserved 

 in the University of Goettingen and a set of duplicates at the 

 Berlin Botanical Museum. His collections of algae are preserved 

 in the herbarium of the Senckenberg Society at Frankfurt, Ger- 

 many, and there is a set of them in the Dublin Botanical Garden 

 and some in the Berlin Botanical Museum.
