in the preserved state, have been represented by colored 
pictures supplied by Dr. Murrill. Among the additions 
of the year, special mention should be made of a fine col- 
lection of fruit syrups given by the J. Hungerford Smith 
Company. 
Upon the completion of the catalogue, we should at 
once take up the work of labeling the very large number of 
specimens which have accumulated since the printing of 
labels was discontinued several years since. This work 
will now be very easy, since the necessary data for the 
labels will be found printed in the catalogue. 
Respectfully submitted, 
H. H. Russy, 
Honorary Curator. 
REPORT OF THE HONORARY CURATOR OF MOSSES 
Dr. N. L. Britton, Drrecror-1n-CuHIEF. 
Sir: During the year the moss herbarium has received by 
purchase, collection, or exchange many interesting series 
of mosses, making notable additions to our collections. 
These have been published from time to time in the list 
of accessions in the Journal. We have received plants for 
identification from the National Museum at Washington, 
Dr. A. Leroy Andrews, of Cornell University, Dr. C. F. 
Millspaugh, of the Field Museum, and others. Arrange- 
ments have been made for the purchase of a set of about 
400 specimens from Mrs. W. A. Weymouth, of Hobart, 
Tasmania, being the duplicates from her husband’s col- 
lections. Dr. Andrews has determined for us unnamed 
material of Bryum and Sphagnum, and Dr. A. W. Evans, of 
Yale University, has continued the determination of 
hepatics from our collections. We acknowledge with 
thanks various comparisons received through Mr. H. N. 
Dixon from Kew Garden and the British Museum and 
value his critical notes and determinations of exotic speci- 
mens from the Mitten Herbarium.
