28 AMERICAN FERN JOURNAL 
Miss F. E. Corne has contributed an interesting set 
of 30 sheets collected by her in the vicinity of Grafton, 
Vt 
Mr. B. F. Bush is credited with 8 sheets from Mis- 
souri. 
When the Society Herbarium was turned over to 
the present curator some seven or eight years ago the 
material received, as shown by the report issued shortly 
after, numbered 553 sheets. During the early part of 
the present year, in looking over some old reports, it 
became plainly evident that not all of the Society’s 
herbarium had been transferred to the present curator. 
Considerable correspondence followed, with the net 
result that 205 sheets were recovered. 
It seems that most of the A. A. Eaton herbarium was 
acquired by the Gray Herbarium of Harvard University, 
where it has been gradually incorporated into the gen- 
eral collection, and that, by mistake, a Jarge part of 
the Society Herbarium went with it. As it was not 
marked in any way, there was no means of telling the 
two herbaria apart. When his attention was called to 
the error, Dr. B. L. Robinson of the Gray Herbarium 
courteously permitted our Secretary, Mr. C. A. 
Weatherby, to examine all the available material 
Moreover, in addition to specimens which could be 
identified as the property of the Society, he very gen- 
erously presented to it a set of the remaining Eaton 
duplicates, the whole amounting to the 205 sheets 
already mentioned. 
This material was mounted by Miss Una L. Foster 
and Mr. Weatherby, for which the Curator wishes to 
thank them. 
Future mix-ups of this sort cannot occur, as each 
Sheet belonging to the Society is now stamped as its 
Property and numbered. Also, a card index is kept 
which gives the name, number, and place of collection 
of each sheet,
