Major North American Bryophyte Herbaria web page

[Barbara M. Thiers]

     The location and contents of the approximately 100 largest bryophyte
     herbaria in North America are summarized on a new web page available
     from the NYBG North American Bryophyte Catalog web site:

     http://www.nybg.org/bsci/hcol/bryo/NABHerb.html

     The herbaria can be searched by acronym or by clicking a point on a
     distribution map.  The information about each herbarium was originally
     compiled at NYBG, and sent to each herbarium for verification.  All
     changes sent by herbaria were incorporated.  Herbaria that were not
     able to respond to the original e-mailing are encouraged to submit any
     additions and corrections, and all herbaria are encouraged to send
     updated information when available.

     Each bryophyte herbarium is linked to the on-line Index Herbariorum
     database for current contact information.
