Word has come to us that the large herbarium of Dr. Julius Roell, com- 

 prising some 30 "Bande" of Sphagna, 40 of Musci, and 50 of Phanerogams, 

 besides ferns, hepatics, lichens, etc., is for sale. The material comes from all 

 parts of Europe, besides considerable of exotic origin, duplicates, and micro- 

 scopic mounts. Dr. Roll prices his collection at $5,000. 



We are also informed that Dr. Istvan Gyoerffy, formerly of Kolozsv^r, is 

 now at Budapest. Dr. Gyorffy was compelled to leave all of his possessions at 

 Kolozsv^r, and is anxious to obtain publications or separates issued since 19 14. 

 His address is Budapest II, Kis Rokosgasse, Nr. 15, Hungary. 



Dr. Th. Herzog informs us that he has for sale some small collections of 

 exotic mosses, mostly from Bolivia. While details are lacking, we assume that 

 lots of 50 or 100 specimens are meant. We shall endeavor to obtain further 

 information, and will gladly, furnish it to any North American moss student 

 who may care to purchase specimens. E. B. C. 



SULLIVANT MOSS SOCIETY NOTES 

 Mr. Stewart H. Burnham has recently joined the staff of the Depart- 

 ment of Botany, New York State College of Agriculture, at Ithaca. The Her- 

 barium of the Department has recently purchased from Dr. J. K. Small his 

 large collection of mosses, hepatics, and lichens — some 12,000 specimens — and 

 will ultimately own, also, the botanical collections which Mr. Burnham has 

 brought with him. Mr. Burnham's address for the future will be as above, 

 instead of Hudson Falls, N. Y. 



We regret to announce the death last August of Mrs. Anna B. McGonnell 

 of Watch Hill, R. I., a member of the Sullivant Moss Society since 1902. Mrs. 

 McConnell was a very active worker in many organizations, being especially 

 interested in geographical exploration. She nevertheless always found time 

 for an encouraging word for the Moss Society and for its work, though not often 

 a contributor to the columns of The Bryologist. The writer well remembers 

 a chance meeting with Mrs, McConnell at Lake Louise, Alberta, on an after- 

 noon when any collecting had to be done in 'the intervals of snow squalls, and 

 the delight which she took in the plants growing beside the trails and over the 

 terminal moraine of the great glacier. The members of the Sullivant Moss 

 Society, we are sure, will join with the writer in extending sincere sympathy 

 to Mrs. McConnell's family. 



The announcement has already been made of the death last January of 

 Dr. Lincoln W. Riddle, daring the past year Vice-President of the Moss Soci- 

 ety. The Secretary has already extended to Mrs. Riddle and family the sin- 

 cere sympathy of the Society and of its officers. A more extended notice of 

 Dr. Riddle's work will appear in a later issue of The Bryologist. 



Mr. Otto McCreary, of Geneva, N. Y., and Rev. S. M. Newman have 

 resigned from membership in the Moss Society since the appearance of the 

 annual report, and Miss Julia Cornelius, of 669 Holly Ave., Winston-Salem, 

 N. C, has joined the Society. E. B. C.
