The Cryptogamic Herbarium, to be of special value for the ex- 
amination of authentic material, is greatly in need of additions. 
There are very few exsiccati collections present in the Herbarium 
and most of these are American. Since much of the work on 
fungi has been done in Europe, it is highly desirable that important 
European exsiccati be added to the collections. 
It is possible at the present time to obtain collections of Euro- 
pean mycologists which include valuable exsiccati. The oppor- 
tunity is probably better now than it will be any time in the future. 
Respectfully submitted, 
GrEorGE M. REEp, 
Curator of Plant Pathology.
