Abstract
THE forestry herbarium collected by the late Prof. A. H. Henry, formerly professor of forestry at University College, Dublin, has now been made available for inspection and reference at the Botanic Gardens, Glasnevin, Dublin. The collection comprises more than nine thousand specimens and was presented to the nation by Mrs. Henry on the death of her husband. Since then, Mrs. Henry has devoted much time to the work of classification and arrangement so as to make the collection readily accessible for reference purposes. This unique collection is a tribute to the memory of a distinguished scholar, and the admirable arrangement accomplished by Mrs. Henry enhances that tribute.
