ERYTHEA. 



and instructive accounts of plants sent, their place in the genus, and 

 the geographical distribution of the species. Among others, 

 Horace Mann had lichens from Bolauder ; some fungi were sent 

 to Prof. Farlovv, and carices to Stephen J. Olney, of Providence, 

 Rhode Island. 



It would not be easy to estimate the number of species new to 

 science made known by the explorations of Bolander, but some 

 suggestion may be had from the appended list * of species of flower- 

 ing plants which bear his name. Bolandra, a genus of Saxi- 

 fragacese, was named in his honor by Gray. 



The hitter half of Bolander's life is briefly told. His connection 

 With the office of State Superintendent did not terminate happily, 

 but none of the friends who had acquaintance with him during his 

 fairly long and active life ever questioned his integrity and honesty 

 of purpose. His great faults were over-generosity and undue sen- 

 sitiveness. An estimate of the man's personal character is, for the 

 writer, not easy to formulate. This were better done, by far, by 



* The following list, of species was kindly compiled by Mr. M. W. Gor- 

 man, of Portland, Oregon, and is thought to be fairly complete ; the number 

 of cryptogamous plants, especially of mosses, liverworts, and lichens, 

 named after Bolander, must have been quite many.
