it would prove a barren Held in liis lo- 

 cality for inoss collecting. 



The Avork of the writer has for the 

 past fifteen or more years been al- 

 most exclusively along the line of the 

 Natural Sciences and he decided long 

 ago that his life work should never de- 

 Tiate verj' far from this path. What- 

 ever form this Avork may take in future 

 his many friends and patious can rest 

 assured that he will remain as ever. 

 Faithfully, Fkank H. Lattix.
