for his only companions, and had but few friends outside of a wide circle of 
botanical friends. 
Mr. Willey’s first paper on lichens ap- 
peared in 1867 and from that time until 1898 
various publications appeared to the number 
of at least twenty-six. His crowning work, 
however, was “An Enumeration of the 
Lichens Found in New Bedford, Massachu- 
setts, and its Vicinity from 1862 to 1892,” 
spoken of by Professor Fink as “the best 
piece of local work ever accomplished on 
American lichens.” Of new species Willey 
described but twenty-six, but it must be 
remembered that all his earlier finds were 
turned over to Tuckerman and described by 
the latter, while not till after Tuckerman’sr 
death did Willey describe his own finds. 
Willey’s herbarium numbered well towards 
10,000 specimens and is one of the best 
lichen collections gotten together by an in- 
dividual student of American lichens. This 
herbarium, sold to the government accord* 
ing to his wishes, is now in the Smithsonian 
Institution at Washington. 
In honor of Mr. Willey stands Muller’s 
genus Witteya and also Pyrenula Willeyana, 
while Tuckerman named for him Lecanora Willeyi, and in the present issue of 
the Bryologist is to be found Ramalina Willeyi Howe. 
A highly appreciative article by Dr. R. H. Howe, Jr., was published in the 
New Bedford Sunday Standard , July 20, 1913, giving among other things con- 
siderable interesting information as to the personal habits and character of Mr. 
Willey; and in Mycologia 6: 49-53, March, 1914, has appeared an article en- 
titled “Henry Willey — A Memoir,” by Professor Bruce Fink. The latter ar- 
ticle contains a complete list of Mr. Willey’s papers on lichens. The writer of 
the present note is indebted to both of these articles for his information and 
would further express his thanks to the Editor of the New Bedford Standard 
for the loan of the cut, here reproduced in a smaller size.
