NOTES FROM THE MUSEUH 



The Museum is open free to the public on week days from 10 

 till 6. Children unaccompanied by an adult are admitted only 

 on Saturdays. 



Mr. Edward R. Memminger, honorary curator of fungi, has re- 

 turned to Charleston for the winter and is engaged in further work 

 on the Ravenel herbarium. In addition to its valuable fungi, 

 this herbarium contains a large series of flowering plants col- 

 lected during the summer in malarial swamps and inaccessible 

 regions where we should have great difficulty in collecting at the 

 present time. Furthermore, the prospect of extensive drainage 

 operations in the coastal region in the near future suggests that 

 a few years may bring extensive changes in ecological conditions. 

 All of this invests the Ravenel herbarium with special interest.
