Raymond H. Torrey 



Raymond H. Torrey, President of the Torrey 

 Botanical Club, died at his home in Hollis, Long Island, 

 on July 15 after an illness of several months, in his 58th 

 year. 



For years he had been a leader in work for conserva- 

 tion, in promoting interest in hiking about New York 

 City, in trail building throughout the Appalachians, 

 and in botanical work. His column, "The Long Brown 

 Path" in the New York Post was a clearing house of 

 information for hikers and naturalists. With Frank 

 Place and Robert Dickinson he wrote the "New York 

 Walk Book," of which the second edition was published 

 in 1934. 



The next issue of Torreya will contain an account 

 of Mr. Torrey 's life and work, also an article he wrote 

 for Torreya some months ago on Collecting Cladoniae 

 in Maine and Gaspe.
