18 CONTRIBUTIONS FROM THE NATIONAL HERBARIUM. 



herbaria, while his private collection is among the best -in the North- 

 west. 



Mr. Thomas Howell, w^hose long and extensive labors have mainly 

 been limited to Oregon, has nevertheless collected much in Washing- 

 ton, especially in the counties bordering on the Columbia. Mr. 

 HowelFs herbarium is now in the j^ossession of the Oregon State 

 University, but sets of his plants are widely distributed. A con- 

 siderable collection of Klickitat County plants was also made by Mr. 

 Joseph Howell. 



Professor L. F. Henderson, who has also collected much in Oregon, 

 gathered rich material in the Olympic Mountains in 1800, and in 

 1892 traveled over much of the State to make a collection for the 

 Columbian AVorld's Fair. This is now in the State University at 

 Seattle. Professor Henderson's private herbarium, one of the most 

 complete in its representation of North Pacific plants, was unfor- 

 nately burned in the recent fire that destroyed the main building of 

 the University of Idaho. 



Mr. T. S. Brandegee, Mr. Frank Tweedy, and Prof. E. W. Hilgard 

 were associated with the North Transcontinental Survey organized 

 in connection with the Northern Pacific Railway under Villard's 

 presidency. In connection with this work extensive collections were 

 made, especially by Brandegee, in Walla Walla, Yakima, and Kitti- 

 tas counties. The best set of these plants is in the Canby Herbarium, 

 now in the New York College of Pharmacy. 



Dr. Sereno Watson visited Washington in 1880 in connection with 

 the Tenth Census Survey of the forests. He made small collections 

 at Yakima Pass, Lake Chelan, Fort Colville, and Spokane. The 

 specimens are in the Gray Herbarium. 



Charles A. Rannn collected a small set of plants in 1883 in Spokane 

 County, which were sent to Doctor Gray. 



Mr. George 11. Vasey made extensive collections for the Department 

 of Agriculture in 1889, principally in Yakima, Kittitas, and King 

 counties.. Sets of his plants are in the principal herbaria. His 

 specimens, unfortunately, lack data regarding their exact place of 

 collection. 



Mr. F. Binns collected plants from 1888 to 1890 about Port Ludlow, 

 and sent them to the Gray Herbarium. 



Rev. Ernest C. Smith botanized in the vicinity of Seattle in 1889 

 and 1890, in the latter year making collections on Mount Rainier. 



Dr. E. L. Greene collected in 1889 about Clealum, Yakima, and on 

 Mount Rainier. 



Mr. J. M. Grant sent a few plants to the Gray Herbarium, col- 

 lected in the Olympic Mountains in 1889. 



Mrs. Susan Tucker made collections near Cheney in 1889, and again 

 in 1903.
