CONTRIBUTIONS TO WESTERN BOTANY NO. 16 



The announcement of the election of E. D. Merrill to the head of the 

 New York Botanical Garden comes as a great surprise to American bota- 

 nists. It seems to mean the permanent passing of the most disturbing factor 

 in American botany, and we hope the end of personal botany. Californian 

 botanists cannot afford to lose Mr. Merrill, who has endeared himself to all, 

 but the Botanic Garden will be very fortunate if it can secure his services.
