the Northeast and a lesser concentration in the Southwest. Administratively, most botanical gardens are operated by municipalities, universities, or private organizations. A large proportion have evolved as outgrowths of private estates. Botanical gardens range in size from one acre to several hundred or even thousands of acres. Among the largest are the New York Botanical Garden (including the associated Cary Arboretum), 2,050 acres, and the Missouri Botanical Garden (including the associated arboretum and natural reserve), 1,725 acres—both strongly oriented to research and professional training, and both mainta …

Some notes on the Hunt Botanical Library Collections of drawings, prints, and paintings. - Wilfrid Blunt The original botanical drawings, albums of flower paintings, and engravings in the Rachel McMasters Miller Hunt Botanical Library form the nucleus of a remarkable collection illustrating the development of botanical illustration throughout the ages. The material is, however, in its present state inevitably both incomplete and unbalanced - and for very obvious and understandable reasons. First, it is basically a privately-made collection which reveals - as all such collections should - the personal preferences …

Actually, I should think that it might be of some advantage to be able to remove particular sheets for study or, perhaps, actually to incorporate the sheets in an herbarium. The Atlas is complete except for four sheets which have been photostated in white on black from the uncolored edition. Also the two volumes of Gay's Agricultura (one bound and one paper) which contain a certain amount of botanical information. In addition I have Molina's "Saggio sulla Storia Civile del Chili, Bologna, 1787" which should be of interest to historians, etc., and a

… Lelo came an Indian botanist to New York sometime. My father said "Congratulations on your book; odd things met with, he has heard of your visit to India." My father then explained that inside the New York Botanical Garden there was no room for global botany; all the data were conveniently available in the library cases. The point was that my father's central position had enabled him always to bring as subjects the plants which he had collected in India for access to students in any part of the continent.

YALE UNIVERSITY OSBORN BOTANICAL LABORATORY NEW HAVEN, CONNECTICUT June 22, 1940. Dr. J. M. Fogg Jr., MacFarlane Hall, University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, Pa. Dear Dr. Fogg, During my brief visit in your herbarium, I saw a specimen of Frasera caroliniensis from Pennsylvania. Can you send me a copy of the data, so that I may cite it? I am now expanding my study into a real revision of the genus and the related Swertia, so I would like to be able to cite that specimen. A week here, a month at the Gray Herbarium, then I must start west. The year is nearly over, but it has been a very pleasant and interesting o …

BOTANICAL MUSEUM • HARVARD UNIVERSITY • OXFORD STREET • CAMBRIDGE 38, MASSACHUSETTS, U.S.A. November 11, 1955. Dr. Wilbur G. Downs, Trinidad Regional Virus Laboratory, Wrightson Road, Port-of-Spain, Trinidad, B. W. I. Dear Dr. Downs: I have been through all of the photographs, now mounted on herbarium sheets, and have put names on perhaps 2/4 of them. I have not yet looked at the specimens in alcohol, because I wanted to run through the photographs completely and then check my determinations with the specimens. Most of the pictures are so very excellent that it is perfectly obvious at once what they represent, bu …

The preface of the German edition is composed of 33 short chapters. In the twentieth of them Brunnfels gives his opinion about the older herbals. He begins by telling, that "manuscripts" with painted plant-pictures have been much asked for and well paid for during the last 30 years; then he mentions the printed editions with the following words:" Others have undertaken to print them, and we have seen many and various specimens of them, but as they wanted to save expense and also perhaps were inexperienced in the true art, they were all spoiled and nothing decent, so for instance the figures, which were only copie …

… which the science is taught; it is also adapted for use as a hand-book to assist in analyzing plants and flowers in field study of botany, either by classes or individuals. The book is intended to furnish Botanical Classes and beginners with an easier introduction to the Plants of this country, and a much more comprehensive work, than is the MANUAL. Beginning with the first principles, it progresses by easy stages until the student, who is at all diligent, is enabled to master the intricacies of the science. It is a Grammar and Dictionary of Botany, and comprises the common Herbs, Shrubs, and Trees of the Southe …

… . It is a fascinating picture book, full of all kinds of curious lore. We must pass rather quickly over it. ( ) Here is the title page of the 1511 edition and a page of text. ( ) This copy, in the Missouri Botanical Garden library, is very interesting for it contains a considerable amount of manuscript replacement. The page before us has had all but the upper right hand corner replaced and filled in by hand. This was commonly done in the 15th and early 16th centuries when, the printing completed, several pages were lacking or imperfect. What was already printed was so valuable it was worth filling in by hand to m …

The figures of plants in "Herbarius" have certain notable peculiarities. Many of them show the same stiff drawing and artificial symmetry which we have observed in the figures of Apuleius. Even those which have not this character, seem rather like diagrams than drawings from nature. That is, they are rather representations of the artist's conception of the plant, derived from previous knowledge, than his direct impression of the object he was drawing. The essential forms of flowers and leaves are generally indicated in such a way that they can be recognized, but there is hardly any attempt to maintain the proport …

But she has made the evaluation even further: the enumeration, alphabetically by authors, supplements in 156 quarto pages in fine print, a subject index modestly designated an index, which contains the botanical and native plant names, place and personal names and subject cue words from the various fields of botany. I believe that no user of the work will have any basis for using a sentence from the preliminary remarks: "The specialist tends rather to criticize than to praise", but rather will be generally received with appreciation.
