he walks along. On his frequent railroad trips he carries the 

 seeds from some foreign country in small packages wrapped 

 with tissue paper. These packages, weighted with stones, he 

 tosses from the train windows into the woods bordering the 

 track. His work is recognized by the Essex County Park 

 Commissioners, who have given him the freedom of the reserva-

Word has been received that Dr. Ekman, of Stockholm, 

 has recently ascended the Turquino, the highest mountain in 

 Cuba. The last botanical excursion near this peak in the Sierra 

 Maestra was in 1906 when the region was explored by B. E. 

 Fernow and N. Taylor. An account of that trip appeared in 

 Forestry Quarterly, Journal of the New York Botanical Garden, 

 and ToRREYA. It is reported that Dr. Ekman made large collec- 

 tions, and as he is probably the first botanist to reach the top, 

 these should prove most interesting.
