incorporated in the general herbarium, and the Muhlenberg Herba-

St. Louis. The herbarium of the Missouri Botanical Garden. This 

 contains the Bernhardi Herbarium and the Engelmann Herbarium 

 incorporated in the general herbarium. 



Washington. The United States National Herbarium in the 

 National Museum. 



Besides the above many smaller collections were examined, about 

 45 in all, from the herbaria of educational institutions and from pri- 

 vate individuals, among which may be mentioned the following: 



The Elliott Herbarium at the Charleston Museum, Charleston, 

 South Carolina, containing the types of species described in Elliott's 

 Sketch of the Botany of South Carolina and Georgia. 



The Parry Herbarium, at the Iowa State College, Ames, Iowa. 



The Gattinger Herbarium, at the University of Tennessee, Knox- 

 ville, Tennessee. 



The private herbarium of Mr. W. W. Ashe, Forest Service, Wash- 

 ington, D. C, containing the types of many species described by him 

 in the Journal of the Elisha Mitchell Society. For several years this 

 herbarium has been in storage and not easily accessible. Mr. Ashe 

 kindly loaned a portion of the collection of Panicum in December, 

 1905. A second portion was sent in February, 1908. Certain of Mr. 

 Ashe's type specimens were not included in either of those loans, but 

 they may become accessible at some future time. These are men- 

 tioned under the appropriate species. 



The private herbarium of Prof. F. Lamson-Scribner, which was 

 partially destroyed by fire in 1894. The remaining portion, consisting 

 of the Paniceae, Poa, and a part of the Agrostideae, together with 

 subsequent additions, was purchased by A. S. Hitchcock in 1905 and 

 is now at the United States Department of Agriculture. 



The Mohr Herbarium, now at the United States National Herba- 

 rium. 



We have been unable to locate the types of Kafmesque or of 

 Alphonso Wood.
