One of the ongoing projects at the N e w Y o r k B o t a n i c a l G a r d e n is the c u r a t i n g of the T y p e H e r b a r i u m . Old genus covers are replaced, b a s i o n y m s are checked and m a n y types are verified and a n n o t a t e d . W h i l e c u r a t i n g n u m e r o u s families, I h a v e n o t e d some h i s t o r i c a l collections more t h a n 100 y e a r s old. Since several of these are not m e n t i o n e d in I n d e x H e r b a r i o r u m I and I I (Collectors' I n d e x ) as being at N Y , I t h o u g h t it w o r t h w h i l e to m a k e this i n f o r m a t i o n available. Some collections are represented o n l y b y one or two types, while others are represented also in the general herbarium. I wish to t h a n k Mrs. E l i z a b e t h Pessala for her assistance.
