 Herbarium of Harvard University. The remainder of his botanical 

 library was bequeatlied to the Ohio State University then called the 

 Agricultural and Mechanical College. His microscopes were given 

 to Starling Medical College. Of this institution he was senior trustee.

 him by other botanists are as follows:
