Within the framework of the Synthesys Programme, some European liverwort species held by the Herbarium of the Natural History Museum in Vienna (W) were checked, in particular for their occurrence in Romania. Examination of these liverwort specimens has led to the identification of rare species for Romania, some of which are only present in the Vienna collection. This includes the exsiccatae collections compiled by the bryologist Karl Loitlesberger for Romania, during his field trip in 1897 and held by W. In these exsiccatae, several rare species of liverworts have been identified and confirmed, such as Frullania parvistipula, the holotype of the taxon Marsupella lapponica, the male of Bucegia romanica (=Marchantia romanica), and Scapania crassiretis for Romania. This paper presents for the first time the oldest known drawings of Frullania parvistipula and Bucegia romanica.

ABSTRACT: In spite of his many other interests, Edward Heron-Allen also worked for nearly 50 years as a scientist on minute shelled protists, called foraminifera, much of it in an unpaid, unofficial capacity at The Natural History Museum, London, and notably in collaboration with Arthur Earland. During this career he published more than 70 papers and obtained several fellowships, culminating in 1919 in his election to the Royal Society. Subsequently, he bequeathed his foraminiferal collections and fine library to the Museum, and both are housed today in a room named in his honour. In this paper, for the first time, an assessment of his scientific accomplishments is given, together with a full annotated bibliography of his publications held in the Heron-Allen Library. This is part of a project to produce a bibliography of his complete publications, recently initiated by the Heron-Allen Society.

Robert Brown is best known for his Australian botanical work of 1801-1805 and for his activity as an early taxonomist and microscopist. However, he made botanical collections and observations on the Atlantic island of Madeira in August 1801 while on his way to Australia on Investigator. As the bicentenary of the voyage is now being celebrated this aspect of Brown's botanical career, and its aftermath, is examined. Some of his Madeiran collection –rass specimens – survive today in the Herbarium of the Natural History Museum, London (BM).
