30 AMERICAN FERN JOURNAL 
included many new to the Herbarium. Fifty-four 
sheets in this set were mounted when received. 
The total number of mounted sheets now in the Her- 
barium is 3001. 
Seven members availed themselves of the privilege 
of borrowing specimens from the Herbarium for study 
during the last year. 
The Herbarium needs specimens from the southern 
and western states with the possible exception of Cali- 
fornia. Specimens from all the Rocky Mountain states 
are needed. Members are urgently requested to keep 
these facts in mind and send in from time to time such 
specimens as are available from these localities. Also, 
remember that many varieties and forms of the more 
common species are still needed from other localities.
