 Jonathan Pearson; and in place of athletics, he made botanical excursions." "While teach- 

 ing at Albany, he presented to the State a collection of mosses, which was seen by Judge G. 

 W. Clinton; and it was through Clinton that he was appointed to the State Cabinet of Nat- 

 ural History in 1867. At that time there were about 1S00 specimens in the herbarium. "The 

 Rev. Moses A. Curtis, of North Carolina, first gave Peck a start in the study of fungi
