GEORGE W. CLINTON 
Our portrait of this issue is of George W. Clinton, familiar¬ 
ly known as Judge Clinton, who was for many years the President and 
moving factor of the Buffalo Society of Natural Sciences. He is best 
known as a botanist, and in connection with. David P. Day published 
a catalogue of the plants in the vicinity of Buffalo, the list of 
fungi being contributed by Judge Clinton. 
Judge Clinton never published much on mycology but his 
herbarium now preserved in the building of the Buffalo Society of 
Natural Sciences is evidence that' he was a life-long and enthusiastic 
collector in this branch of science. The treasurers of this collec¬ 
tion are not generally known and I was much gratified and surprised 
in looking over it last summer. Not only is found there an extensive 
collection of local fungi but many specimens from other collectors 
not often found in the herbaria I have visited. I noted many plants 
from Bennett", New Jersey, Blake and Frost, Vermont, Michener, Penn¬ 
sylvania, Peck of New York, and it is evident from the notations that 
Professor Peck had been over the collection which gives it an addi¬ 
tional value. The most unexpected and gratifying discovery I made 
in the herbarium was a set of Wright's Cuban fungi which were named 
by Berkeley. I know of no other in America excepting in Farlow's col¬ 
lection but of course there may be others. The set has lost some of 
its historic value for the original collection numbers of Wright are 
not preserved. The specimens are numbered according to Berkeley's 
determination. Many of them are in reality "co— type 11 specimens. 
The set is in much better condition than 1 noted in England for no 
one has even disturbed it and the specimens have never been pawed over. 
This collection of Judge Clinton's at Buffalo is well worth a visit 
from any mycologist interested in American species. W. are enabled 
to present Judge Clinton's portrait through the kindness of Mr. Henry 
R. Howland. 
MONSIEUR PAUL HARIOT 
Grace a notre ami commun, Monsieur le Professeur N. Patouil- 
lard, nous avons le plaisir de reproduire ici une bonne photographic 
de Paul Harlot, le regrette Directeur du Musee de Botanique Crypto- 
gamique de Paris. La pauvre photographic publiee il y a quelque 
temps par la Societe' Mycolo^ique de France etait un vrai disappoint¬ 
ment . Nous en expriznions recemment notre regret dans une de nos 
notes. La photographic que nous presentons aujourd’hui a nos lec- 
teurs est une excellente reproduction de la physionomie de Paul 
Hariot, un des meilleurs Directeurs de Musee que nous ayons jamais 
co^inu. Son affabilite', son abord cordial, sa complaisance inlassable 
n'etaient surpasses que par la connaissance approfondie qu'il avait 
des sujets confies a sa direction. Si / nous ne nous trompons, il ne 
sera pas facile de le. remplacer au Musee par un Maitre de sa compe¬ 
tence .
