56 
dram morphiae bottles he found that it was almost exactly 40 \ 
therefore one of the bottles would contain 1,614,144,280 of these 
spores. The same bottle will hold 10,600 flax-seeds, 350 cubeb- 
berries, 250 grains of allspice, 66 Coculus Indicus seeds, 20 nux- 
vomica-seeds, 4,200 canary-seeds, 8,400 dill-seeds, 2,900 grains of 
paradise, 1,250 hemp-seeds, 500 black pepper berries, 661 white pep- 
per berries, 3,250 stramonium-seeds, and 100 pumpkin-seeds. It 
will thus be seen that one hemp-seed equals in size 1,291,315 lycopo- 
dium spores. — Western Druggist,

Correct and Incorrect Addresses- — The recent receipt, in a 
round about way, by the Editor, of a letter which had been mailed 
to him some weeks previously, leads him to give the following directions 
in regard to addressing communications: All communications for the 
Bulletin, all business matters relating to it, and all exchanges shoula 
be addressed simply to W. R. Gerard, 61 Clinton Place, New York, 
Please omit the useless words *'Editor of the Bulletin of the Torrey 
Club." Communications for the Treasurer should be addressed for 
W. H. Rudkin, 74 William St., New York, Communications tc 
the Club should be sent to the Secretary, Arthur Holhck, Ne^v 
Brighton, N. Y. Specimens of plants for the Club should be sent to 
Dr. N. L. Britton, School of Mines, Columbia College, New York. 
Since we cannot, by letter, impress upon the minds of ne^vh 
agents that the Bulletin has no business office, we shall ^^^^ ^, 
in print to address no letters to the ** Torrey Botanical Club, 
"Bulletin of the Torrey Botanical Club," or ^^Torrey's Botanical 
Bulletin," or " Publisher of the Torrey Bulletin." Letters su 
addressed may, through the perseverance of some better-earn j 
finally reach their destination, but they stand an equal chance ot g 
ing to the Dead Letter Office.
