geschrieben. Blöderweise sind mir alle alten Dias etc. restlos verloren. Aber die Samenbilder, Entwicklungs geschichten habe ich mir aus meinem Werk herausgezogen. Die Mykotrophie habe ich mit dem Phasenkontrastmikroskop schon aufgenommen. Mit diesem Instrument sieht man viele Dinge ohne jegliche Färbung an Handschnitten, die sonst nur dem Mikrotome zugänglich sind. Das müsste man auch einmal zusammenschreiben, aber wer druckt das? Ein Glück ist es, dass ich fotografiere und Mikrofotogra

Aunque sean incompletas, mis investigaciones han revelado muchos datos que creo serán de interés para quienes se dediquen a la botánica mexicana y a la literatura relacionada con ella. Por ejemplo, en la biblioteca de la American Philosophical Society en Filadelfia, encontré un manuscrito, firmado por Martín Sessé (pero probablemente escrito por un escribano suyo), intitulado "Catálogo de Animales y Plantas Mexicanas". Consta este manuscrito de 82 páginas y lleva la fecha de 1794. Trae una lista de plantas con anotaciones especiales para señalar cuáles de ellas se consideraban especies nuevas, de cuáles se hicier …

Box 164 Port of Spain, Trinidad Dear Dr. Downs: The photographs, sketches and notes about your Trinidad orchids arrived yesterday. With my last-minute preparations for the Cuban course in Tropical Botany, I have given them only a preliminary examination, but I want to tell you that this is indeed a very material contribution to the study which I am making of the orchids of Trinidad and Tobago. When I resume my work in the fall, it will certa …

… with the history of botany is due to be published in the Memorias de la Academia Nacional de Ciencias de Mexico, as my contribution on election as corresponding member of the Academia. A paper dealing with botanical gardens among the ancient Mexicans was sent, on invitation, to the Botanical Congress in Paris, in 1954. This was based on material collected for the bibliography, as were papers submitted at meetings of the AIBS in 1953 and 1954. The latter two dealt with references to Mexican plants in early non-botanical works. As other sections become more or less complete, I shall try to secure preliminary public …

YALE UNIVERSITY DEPARTMENT OF ANTHROPOLOGY NEW HAVEN, CONNECTICUT BOX 2114, YALE STATION July 19, 1954 Dr. Thomas H. Goodspeed 600 Arlington Ave. Berkeley, Calif. Dear Dr. Goodspeed, I am at present writing up data on Seminole medicine and ethnobotany which I collected during field work in Florida a couple of years ago. Among the plants occasionally cultivated by the Florida Seminole is tobacco -- but an unfortunate lapse in my collecting activities while in Florida turns out to have involved this plant. I wondered whether perhaps you could tell me anything from the enclosed photographs, plus the information I fi …

Nous commissaires nommés par l'Académie avons lu et examiné un Mémoire de M.... de Jussieu intitulé "Examen de la famille du Renouée". Dans ce mémoire m.... de Jussieu ayant comparé les rapports des plantes avec les affinités chimiques, malgré la très différence qu'il y a entre ces 2 choses, prend la Botanique d'origine. D'abord il examine comment les Botanistes s'y sont mis pour classer les plantes; il remarque que les uns préfèrent le fruit, les autres la fleur, Saint-Lacoste, c'est-à-dire, les Étamens peuvent tirer leurs caractères, les autres font pour classiques, en on fait des systèmes où des espèces de not …

We are glad to have them, our representation of the flora of the eastern part of that state still leaving much to be desired. To me, most of them are familiar and remind me pleasantly of my trip through neighboring regions two years ago. Those which you did not name I have been ab …

… the most important hand-painted florilegia and collections of original flower paintings scattered in various museums and libraries throughout the world. This is something that has never been attempted for botanical drawings and would, in my opinion, add great prestige to the Hunt Botanical Library, would be of enormous value to A and B, and of considerable interest to C and D. It is hardly necessary for me to mention the kind of work that I have in mind, but the following are one or two obvious examples: the hundred or more volumes of vélines at the Muséum of the Jardin des Plantes, Paris; the Walther florilegiu …

Department of Botany LOUISIANA STATE UNIVERSITY AND AGRICULTURAL AND MECHANICAL COLLEGE BATON ROUGE · LOUISIANA · 70803 504/388-8485 22-V-1981 Dear Dr. Miller, This is just a word of appreciation for your fine talk on May 21 on "The Photosynthetic Membrane." The subject is as fascinating as it is important. I also think it is the kind of stuff of which Nobel Prizes are made! With best wishes, Sincerely yours, B. Lowey Professor Emeritus of Botany

Dr. Allan H. Brown - 2 - May 18, 1964 Iamcheon - Remarks by Dr. Byerrum, Dean of the College of Natural Science He emphasized that eventually molecular biology and taxonomy will come to complement each other. In the beginning, molecular biologists tended to minimize the differences between plants and animals, and the different kinds of plants and animals but these differences will again become significant as the pendulum swings, and taxonomy will again resume a more important role in biology as a whole. Paper by Dr. A. H. Smith - "The cryptogamic herbarium" Emphasis was on techniques and procedures for the preser …

… ppreciated and I hope will serve as the basis of a collection of all your works that I am planning to put together. This is part of a project in which I hope to bring together all major natural history and botanical studies on the Hawaiian Islands. Although I have been in Hawaii for a little over two years, I have found myself busy revitalizing an almost dead herbarium and introducing new university courses in botany. I have introduced a new course "Plants in the Hawaiian Environment" so that students will again become aware of what is around them and I have taken over "Ethnobotany" from Miss Krauss. These are in …

… and produced numerous taxonomic papers on genera besides those listed above. The magnificent collections borrowed from the Marie C. Neal Herbarium of the B. P. Bishop Museum was of fundamental aid for his research which was conducted in his office in the Field Museum in Chicago. Many critical specimens, however, were never made available to him during his early studies and hence remain to plague, with provisional or no species identifications, Honolulu workers. B. P. Bishop Museum Directors A. Spoehr and R. W. Force, however, liberalized loan requirements and thus gained hundreds of hours of expert work gratis o …
