 The J. Roberts Lowrie Herbarium.* — During August, 1920, 

 the ofificials of The Pennsylvania State College received a letter 

 from Air. Roberts Lowrie, of Philadelphia, stating that it was the 

 desire of the family to present the herbarium, prepared by his 

 father, ^Ir. J. Roberts Lowrie, formerly of Warriorsmark. Pa., 

 to the College. Acting on the suggestion contained in the letter. 

 the writer, accompanied by Professor C. R. Orton. made a visit 

 to the Lowrie residence in Warriorsmark to accept the herbarium 

 on behalf of the College and to learn more of the botanical activi- 

 ties of its maker. Oil this and a subsequent visit to Warriors- 

 mark, a village at the base of the Bald Eagle Ridge about twenty- 

 five miles southwest of State College, we were most cordially 

 received at the beautiful old homestead by Miss Sarah R. Lowrie.
