The National Science Foundation's Biotic Surveys and Inventories Program funded my proposal to do the orchid treatment for the Flora of the Greater Antilles. The grant provides for field and herbarium work, a database for specimen documentation, a graduate student assistant, and illustrations for the flora. The grant runs until 1998 with completion of the manuscript expected by 1999. Aspects of the proposal that were regarded by NSF as important were: 1) large number of species involved; 2) probability of finding new species; 3) unstable taxonomy and patchy (by age and geography) floristic treatments; 4) record of PI research productivity; 5) impressive list of collaborators; and 6) the intention of establishing a specimen data base that would be made available through the Internet.

The weakest link in the proposal was the database. In my mind, the ideal system is one that would be operable on a notebook computer so that data could be entered directly into the system when visiting herbaria. Furthermore, NSF requires the database to be e-mail accessible on the World Wide Web. At the time I had written the proposal I could not find an established data base program that fit NSF's expectations and my criteria. NSF recognized the problem but had no solutions to offer. They simply required that I continue my search for a suitable specimen documentation program. Since the proposal was written I have seen a demonstration of Rob Colwell's BIOTA program. For small collections (less than 100,000 specimens) it seems ideal. Colwell had developed it for the ALAS project at OTS's La Selva Biological Station in Costa Rica. It has just become commercially available through Sinauer. BIOTA, however, has been criticized because the software on which it is based will be dated within a year. I would very much appreciate the views of FGA collaborators on this issue.

A number of reviewers of the proposal commented on the lack of a FGA project-wide database and plans for transmitting the written flora electronically. We should perhaps think about how this should be done.


National Herbarium for Bahamas

Dr. Lee B. Kass of the Natural Sciences Division of Elmira College, Elmira, NY, has been awarded a Fulbright grant to lecture and conduct research at the College of the Bahamas in Nassau, New Providence, The Bahamas, the J. William Fulbright Foreign Scholarship Board and the United States Information Agency (USIA) announced recently. She and her husband, Dr. Robert E. Hunt, plan to help initiate a National Herbarium for the Bahamas. Lee will be at the College of the Bahamas from January through June 1996. Anyone wishing to support this effort by donating specimens for the herbarium or books for the library should contact her at Elmira College Herbarium, Elmira, NY 14901, Tel. (607) 564-7495, e-mail lbkbhwon@aol.com. In January 1996, her mailing address will be: Lee B. Kass, Natural Science Division, College of the Bahamas, PO Box N-4912, Nassau, Bahamas.

Dr. Kass received her Ph.D. in Botany from Cornell University in 1975. After graduating, she was awarded a Cambridge University Research Fellowship to study at the Agricultural Research Council in Cambridge, England. She continued her research at Vanderbilt University with the support of a NSF Postdoctoral Research Fellowship. Since 1982 she has been a faculty member in the Division of Natural Sciences at Elmira College, where she teaches both undergraduate and graduate students. Her research centers on local (northeastern USA) and Bahamian flora and the history of science. In 1984, Dr. Kass established the Elmira College Herbarium. She has been a Visiting Professor at Cornell University and Michigan State University. Recently she was appointed Adjunct Professor at the L. H. Bailey Hortorium of Cornell University, Ithaca, New York.


Robert Roy Smith (1934-1995)

Dr. Robert R. Smith, Professor of Biology and Curator of the Hoysradt Herbarium at Hartwick College, Oneonta, New York, passed away on 27 June 1995 after a long illness.

Bob was born on 11 September 1934 in Stamford, NY. He graduated from Stamford High School in 1952. He received his B.A. in Biology from Hartwick College in 1960, and from the University of Florida an M.S. in Botany in 1962 and a Ph.D. in Botany in 1968. The subject of his dissertation was a revision of Heliconia (Musaceae) in Middle America.

His association with Hartwick College resumed when he accepted a position as Assistant Professor in September 1968, receiving promotions to Associate Professor in 1972 and Professor in 1979. Besides teaching a wide variety of courses on campus, he was intimately involved with teaching field courses at both the nearby Pine Lake campus and the Bahamian Field Station on San Salvador Island, the Bahamas.

Bob always enjoyed working in the herbarium. Based on the private herbarium that Lyman H. Hoysradt had amassed in the late 1870's, Bob recognized its value and worked steadily to upgrade the collection. He and I were still involved in processing the last of the Hoysradt specimens a month before his passing.

In addition to the work on the flora around Oneonta and the adjacent Catskill region, he devoted a great deal of time to his other research love, the flora of the Bahamas. Since the days of his first trip to San Salvador Island in 1971, Bob had worked on various floristic projects, eventually leading to publication of two editions of the "Field Guide to the Vegetation of San Salvador Island, The Bahamas." Bob found the first known population of Aechmea lingulata (Bromeliaceae) in the Bahamas. In 1985, he organized the First Symposium on the Botany of The Bahamas and edited the proceedings volume from that meeting as well as the next two. The biannual symposium was recently expanded to include all Bahamian natural history.

I knew Bob for over 20 years, as a teacher, researcher, mentor, and friend. A more extensive biography and complete bibliography will be published elsewhere.- Richard K. Rabeler, University of Michigan Herbarium, North University Building, Ann Arbor, MI 48109-1057.


Fungi For Flora Finally Finds Funding

A group of mycologists, led by Jean Lodge of The Center for Forest Mycology Research in Puerto Rico, have submitted a proposal to the National Science Foundation to fund preparation of a mycota for the basidiomycetes of the Greater Antilles. The group estimates that there are 12 orders, 36 families, over 320 genera and 2000+ species, with ca. 12% of these undescribed. The project involves extensive field work in Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, the Dominican Republic, and Jamaica by trained mycologists. Over 20 research personnel, 14 of which are specialists in their respective areas of basidiomycete taxonomy, have been enlisted to produce the survey. Co-PIs on the proposal, in addition to D. Jean Lodge, are Tim Baroni, Karen Nakasone and Leif Ryvarden. Additional specialists include Peter Roberts, Orson Miller, Egon Horak, Regis Courtecuis, Angel Nieves-Rivera, Roy Halling, Rytas Vilgalys, Maria Nuñez, Karl-Henrik Larsson, H. H. Burdsall, Jr., Julieta Carranza, Omar Paino-Perdomo, and Michael Larsen. The initial proposal requested ca. $532,000 for 4 years. The proposal has been highly recommended for funding by NSF, but with a reduced budget of $450,000. Final approval is contingent on the U.S. federal budget and Congress. Let's hope this worthwhile proposal receives final funding.
