Report of the Curator for 1915 
The Society herbarium has grown during the past 
year and now numbers 2234 mounted sheets. Eight 
loans were made to members during the year. The 
exchange department is flourishing and exchanges have 
been made with twelve different persons since the last 
report. Members are asked to send a list of their 
material first, as the department cannot give out rare 
material and receive none in return. 
The collection of Phillipine material, 483 sheets in 
all, donated by Mr. D. LeRoy Topping and mentioned 
in the last report, has all been mounted. This collec- 
tion contains about 180 different species in about 55 
genera. 
Through an exchange, the Society has received a set 
of the pteridophytes of the Hawaiian Islands from Mr. 
C. N. Forbes, Curator of Botany in the Bernice Pauahi 
Bishop Museum, Honolulu, H. I. There are 259 sheets 
in this collection, representing 38 genera and 113 species.
