Austin’s work we must not forget it was done before the moss-flora of 
Europe even, was well known, add that since his death in 1880, all the 
important works in common use now have been published, including 
Lesquereux & James’ Manual, Braithwaite’s British Mosses, Dixon’s Hand- 
book, Limpricht’s Laubmoose, etc. and that his own library was very small. 
Of mosses q6 species were described by him and 4 were dedicated to him. 
Most of Austin’s contributions were published in the Bulletin of the 
Torrey Botanical Club and a few in the earlier numbers of the Botanical 
Gazette. He served in the Herbarium of Columbia College as a private 
assistant, and his collection of mosses were purchased for that institution 
through the interest of Dr. N. L. Britton in 1887. His hepatics unfortun- 
ately, had been previously sold to W. H. Pearson of Manchester, England, 
where they still remain.
