liverworts of Ohio. When living in Spring- 

 field, she industriously collected and carefully 

 studied the tiny bryophites of Cedar Swamp, 

 Clifton Gorge, and vicinity. Some rare plants 

 she brought to light, and discovered several 

 new species, one of which was named in her 

 honior, Trichocolea Biddlecomei. 



Mrs. E. J. Spence, of Springfield, ought to 

 be mentioned in the same connection. She and 

 Miss Biddlecome were constant companions in 

 this delightful and useful work. Mrs. Spence 

 devoted herself, as well, to the flowering plants, 

 and the State herbarium at the university con- 

 tains several hundred specimens that testify to 

 her botanical activity. 



Special mention is also deserved on the part 

 of Mrs. E. W. Claypoole, now of California, 

 who, during her long residence in Ohio, worked 

 constantly with her husband, both at Yellow 

 Springs and Akron. Botany was a field of 

 enticing interest to her, and she did much 

 toward making the Ohio flora known and" ap- 

 preciated at home and abroad. She has con- 

 tributed some botanical articles to magazines. 

 Her love of nature is inherited by her two 

 daughters, both of whom are now instructors 

 in Cornell University.
