radical person might have had a larger output, but with her nothing was to 
be done hastily, and no changes were to be made without most careful con- 
sideration. Her work was constantly gaining in quality and influence as is 
readily enough seen in improvements in manner of issuing the exsiccati and 
in the character of her latest publication. In her early death, December 28, 
1906, at a time when she had many unfinished plans for work in lichenology 
and was most able to do efficient work, lichenology and botany sustain a 
severe loss. 
Others have written of Miss Cummings’ life work as a teacher at Welles- 
ley College, of the recognition given her. and of various honors conferred upon 
her. So it only remains to append a list of her papers, either published 
wholly in her own name, or appearing in the writings of others. The two 
numbered sets of lichen exsiccati are added after the papers, but not the 
earlier distributions of mosses and lichens.
