Report of the Lichen Department for 1920 



Much interest has been manifested by our members in the study of Lichens 

 during the past year, and, as a result, the Lichen Herbarium has been materially 

 enriched. 



Our list of contributors this year is headed by Mr. George L. Moxley and 

 Dr. P. O. Schallert. Mr. Moxley sends us fine specimens from southern Cali- 

 fornia and Dr. Schallert specimens from North Carolina, a state which, thus 

 far, has been poorly represented in our Herbarium. Our other contributors 

 are: Mrs. Ella L. Horr, Mrs. M. A. Noble, Dr. Albert C. Herre, Mrs. Anne L. 

 Read, and Dr. O. E. Jennings. 



Some work has been done on the determination of the fine lot of specimens 

 collected in Hawaii, and sent us by Miss Alice Eastwood; it is expected that a 

 complete report will be forthcoming this coming year. A number of these 

 specimens, as they have been determined, have been added to the Herbarium. 



But our largest source of enrichment has been a lot of over 300 specimens 

 of Norwegian Lichens from Dr. Bernt Lynge, sent us in exchange for a com- 

 plete set of the Hasse "Lichenes Exsiccati." These specimens are exceptionally 

 fine, and we are delighted to have them. 



Of the specimens received from the various sources, 410 have been mounted, 

 making the number now in the Herbarium 3850. Our sincere thanks are here- 

 with conveyed to those who have lent a helping hand, and we hope that the 

 interest and enthusiasm shown will continue unabated. 



Respectfully submitted, 



Charles C. Plitt, Curator 



Report of the Curator of the Hepatic Herbarium 



Greetings to all the members of the Sullivant Moss Society! 



It is a pleasure again to care for the herbarium, and to relieve Miss Haynes, 

 who has so efficiently carried on the work of this department during my ab- 

 sence. The herbarium has survived two movings and two year's storage, and 

 is rapidly getting in order again. 



During the year 211 specimens have been contributed by: Miss C. C. 

 Haynes, Dr. P. O. Schallert, H. S. Jewett, A. H. Brinkman, H. B. Dudley, 

 Helen Greenleaf, J. Evans, H. Dupret, Geo. L. Moxley, A. Lorenz, Jos. Murray, 

 Stewart Burnham, John Macoun, and Geo. H. Conklin. 



In the collection of Dr. Schallert at Winston-Salem, N. C, Nardia fossom- 

 hronioides was found. This makes the fourth station for this interesting plant. ^ 

 Twenty-seven specimens from the Lake Superior region, Bayfield County, 

 Wisconsin, were added by the writer. Among these were Nardia hyalina, 

 Lophozia Kaurini, and Scapania suhalpina.
