REPORT OF THE CUSTODIAN OF THE HEPATIC 

 HERBARIUM 



It is a pleasure to note the growing interest of the members in this 

 Department of the Society. 427 specimens, many of them rare, have 

 been added during the year to the Herbarium, making the total num- 

 ber of specimens 2,596. 



Chief among these contributions is a collection of 35 named speci- 

 mens from Japan, given by Prof. Ei'^ichi lishiba of Sendai. These, 

 with his former gift of 54 packets of Japanese specimens, together 

 with 10 Japanese specimens secured by Prof . F. S. Beattie, (which 

 are in process of determination,) make a notable addition of material 

 from Asia. 



Prof. A. S. Foster continues to send the Herbarium western ma- 

 terial of great value. 53 specimens of his were added this year. Prof. 

 Sheldon gave 47 packets from West Virginia. Bro. Victorin sent 37 

 packets from Longueuil P. Q., Canada. Prof. H. Dupret sent collec- 

 tions from Regaud, St. Hiliare and Oka., P, Q., Canada. 



George M. Pendleton of Sisson, Cal., Miss Carlotta H. Browne 

 of Philadelphia, Pa., and Miss Helen Greenwood of Worcester, Mass., 

 have added large numbers of specimens from their respective locali- 

 ties. The latter recently sent material collected this year at Yosemite, 

 Cal., and Glacier, B. C. Prof. Holzinger remembered us with dupli- 

 cates of his species from Montana and New Mexico. 



Our three K's — Kingman, Kaiser and Krout, have been most faith- 

 ful in completing the duplicate lists of their collections in the Her- 

 barium, adding over 70 specimens, besides giving a large number of 

 duplicates for use in securing exchanges. Mr. W. W. Calkins, Mrs. 

 Elizabeth M. Dunham and Rev. S. M. Newman, have also been 

 contributors. 



Miss Haynes has added the twenty numbers, 80 to 100, of this 

 year's issue of ''American Hepaticae." The Vice President also se- 

 cured through exchange 20 additional species collected in England 

 and Wales, from Rev. Philip G. M. Rhodes, Kidderminster, England; 

 also a collection made by Mr. C. B. Robinson from Saguenay Co., 

 Quebec, besides giving many valuable specimens and duplicates from 

 her own collectionsi
