collection. A large proportion of these were distributed, and it is 
only recently that the last remains have been disposed of. A con- 
siderable proportion were placed at the disposal of Mrs. J. E. Gray, in 
recompense for her pains and trouble in arranging the type-collection. 
These (I believe with duplicates from her own herbarium) she made 
up into sets and, bound in handsome volumes, distributed to various 
public institutions. One such set may be in the possession of the 
Linnean Society. But the type-collection is certainly not there, for 
the simple reason that it is where it has always been since Mrs. 
Griffiths’ death — at Kew. 
The same authors state that Mrs. J. E. Gray’s own type-specimens 
are at ‘ Cambridge University.’ I strongly suspect that what Cam- 
bridge possesses is one of the collections referred to above. I can 
hardly doubt that Mrs. J. E. Gray enriched the Kew Herbarium of 
Algae, which was practically for some years under her charge, with any 
specimens of her own which would be of value to it.
