[July 



Teacher's School of Science exhibited by request tiie collection of 

 mosses, before exhibited, prepared by a committee of the class. The 

 specimens were mounted in "simj)lex" celluloid mounts, on cards, 

 in such a way as to admit handling antl study with a hand lens with- 

 out injury to the j)lants. The class also exhibited certain plants 

 suitable for growth in school rooms, though seldom seen there, to call 

 attention to their value as illustrations of adaptation to desert and 

 other conditions, and of methods of vegetative propagation. The 

 Barton Chapter of the Agassiz Association contributed about one 

 hundred and twenty named fresh mosses as part of the collection of 

 three members during the month of April, lOOO. Most of these were 

 collected in three localities near Boston and where moisture was neces- 

 sary were bedded in Sphcujnum. — M. Edna Cherringtox.
