in Guatemala, and by Seemann in Panama. Collections from the 

 West Indian islands include the following : From Jamaica by 

 Swartz, Purdie, Wilds, Wilson, Hart, Jenman and Harris ; from 

 Cuba by Wright ; from Grenada by Broadway ; from St. Christo- 

 pher by Breutel ; from Trinidad by Fendler and Cruger ; and from 

 Haiti and Santo Domingo by Swartz. He had very few mosses 

 from the French Antilles, a lack which has already been sup- 

 plied in the Garden collections by the purchase of the herbarium 

 of Pere Duss, made in the islands of Guadeloupe and Martinique, 

 which contains many species whose type localities have since 

 been destroyed by the volcanic eruption of Mt. Pelee. 



His collections are not as rich in European exsiccatae as that 

 of Jaeger, but they supplement those already at the Garden with 

 several sets that were lacking, notably Spruce's Mosses of the 

 Pyrenees. There are also two fine sets of Drummond's First 

 Arctic and Canadian Collections of North American Mosses, 

 secured during the second Land Arctic Expedition under the 

 command of Sir John Franklin, in 1828. One of these sets was 

 the property of Sir John Richardson. He also had a set of 

 Drummond's Second Collection from the Southern States, 1841, 

 one of Sullivant's Musci Alleghanienses, 1845, and one of Sul- 

 livant and Lesquereux's Musci Boreali Americani, First Edition, 

 1856. Besides these he had collections from Richardson made 

 in the Northwest Territory from the vicinity of Great Bear and 

 Great Slave Lake ; from Davis Strait and Arctic America by 

 James Taylor ; from Lake Winnipeg, Saskatchewan and the Rocky 

 Mountains by Bourgeau in Palliser's British North American Ex- 

 pedition, 1859; and from the Northwest Coast, Vancouver Island 

 and British Columbia by Menzies, Lyall and Douglas. The 

 mosses of the 49th parallel, or the northern boundary of the 

 United States, were named and listed by Mitten, in the Proceed- 

 ings of the Linnean Society, 1864. From John Macoun, he re- 

 ceived a fine set of the mosses of Ontario. He also had speci- 

 mens sent by Dr. C. W. Short from Kentucky, Chapman from 

 Florida, T. P. James from New Hampshire, and John Torrey 

 rom New York.
