the milking of some of the illustrations, slide-making, typing, and the other details of this 

 sort of investigation. Dr. Rogers McVaugh, Director for Systematic Biology when the work 

 was begun, aided in the initial planning of the project, and succeeding Directors, Dr A. C. 

 Smith and Dr. David Keck, have been most helpful. A further grant, G16810, to The New York 

 Botanical Garden, has made it possible to publish the work in these Memoirs. 



My research assistants in the early years of the project, Dr Jane Taylor and Dr Bay 

 Hatcher, have contributed much to the taxonomic studies, illustrations, and determinations of 

 species for a number of the genera. I have borrowed generously from their monographs on 

 Lepidozia, Trichocolea, and Isotachis. Miss Sally Stevens has taken care of the card files and 

 slides. 



I am indebted to many libraries for their assistance in the search for literature and for 

 making available the necessary photostats; the Lloyd Library of Cincinnati has been extremely 

 helpful and the Librarian has given countless hours of assistance. 



A great number of herbaria and museums here and abroad have been most generous in 

 lending types and critical material, and I acknowledge my debt to them for their generous 

 assistance. Without their cooperation the taxonomic studies would not have been possible. 

 The many individual collectors, herbaria and museums that have so generously loaned their 

 unnamed material have contributed to the scope of the work. All are designated, after the 

 specimens cited, by the standard herbarium symbols. 



The editors of a number of scientific serials in which some of the drawings had been 

 published earlier have kindly given their permission for the use of these drawings in the 

 Manual. 



I express my appreciation to the New York Botanical Garden for publishing the work, 

 the National Science Foundation for furnishing a grant to cover the cost of publication, and 

 finally to the Editor, Dr Harold Riekett, for his assistance and patience in editing the manu- 

 script.
