'These being the worthy objects for which the Herbarium is being 
developed, no hesitation is felt in soliciting the interest and coópera- 
tion of botanists in all parts of New England. Well-prepared speci- 
mens of plants, both of rare and common species, will be gladly re- 
ceived for the Herbarium and desired information in regard to them 
given when possible. It is very essential, however, that each specimen 
should be accompanied by a neat label written in ink and stating the 
exact place and date of collection, habitat, and collector. It is the 
policy of the Club to incorporate in its Herbarium no specimens which 
- are accompanied only by vague or imperfect data. 
The Herbarium is located in the botanical section of the University 
Museum, Oxford Street, Cambridge, Mass., a room for the purpose 
being at present loaned to the Club by Harvard University. 
CHRYSANTHEMUM SEGETUM, L., AT MARION, MASSACHUSETTS. — This 
European plant has been found naturalized at several distant places in 
North America, such as California, Schenectady, N. Y., and some of 
the eastern seaports. As far as I know, it has not been seen in New 
England until last summer, when I found a plant growing by the road- 
side at Marion, Mass. In appearance it resembles the common spe- 
cies, C. Leucanthemum, except that the whole plant is rather lower, 
with larger leaves, and short, leafy peduncles. The rays are bright 
yellow, rather broad, and emarginate. The occurrence of this plant 
at a place like Marion (on Buzzard's Bay) is probably due to another 
accidental introduction of European seeds, since there is only very in- 
direct communication with any of its other American stations.

TRICHOLOMA EQUESTRE (L.) Fr. was noticeably abundant in dry 
woods in eastern Massachusetts last October, and received much atten- 
tion from fungus-lovers and toadstool-eaters. Unlike many other 
Tricholomas, it was found even by novices to be rather easily deter- 
minable. The plainly viscid pileus, which even in dry weather is apt
