been added to the Maine list, viz.: Polytrichum gracile, Cath- 

 arincza crispa and C. Macmillani. The latter was collected by 

 Miss Alice L. Crockett in Camden, and determined by Mr. 

 Chamberlain, as was also the Catharincea crispa. C. Macmil- 

 lani has not previously been recorded from New England. 



According to the statement of Dr. A. W. Evans (Rhod. 

 9: 73), who has been at work for some time on the New Eng- 

 land hepaticae, there are now known from New Hampshire 

 one hundred and five species, from Connecicut one hundred 

 and two species, but only eighty-eight from Maine. This 

 points to the fact that there has been less exploration for 

 hepatics in Maine than in either of the States mentioned. 

 Probably more species of hepatics grow in Maine than in any 

 other New England State. We think this statement will be 

 shown to be fully justified as soon as the State is fully ex- 

 plored.

RESOLUTIONS. 



In behalf of the Josselyn Botanical Society we wish to 

 express our appreciation of the splendid manner in which we 

 have been entertained, and of the many attentions shown us 

 by our hostess, Miss Fisher, of Belmont Lodge. We wish 

 also to extend our thanks to Mrs. C. F. Starbird, Miss 

 Hayes, Miss Andrews, and Miss Corning, for their assistance 

 and guidance in the neighborhood of Oxford. 



The Society is also much indebted to Messrs. George R. 

 Howe, Walter L. Bacon, and Vivian Akers for their recep- 

 tion and guidance in the region about Norway. 



For the success of one of the best meetings ever held, we
