and Dr. H. E. Hasse undertaking the curatorship of the Lichen Herbarium, 

 which has so long been under the charge of Miss Mary F. Miller. Except for 

 the changes involved in the advisory board, the editorship of the Bryologist 

 will remain the same as during 1912, and the Society is fortunate in being able 

 to retain the services of Dr. A. J. Grout as editor-in-chief. The volume which 

 has just come to a close numbers 100 pages (exclusive of the index) and includes 

 four plates and fourteen figures in the text. Of the twenty-nine original articles 

 published nineteen relate to mosses, six to hepatics, and four to lichens, while 

 one includes all three groups. The articles on mosses have been submitted by 

 twelve contributoro, those on hepacics by four, and those cn lichens by three, 

 showing that the mosses still represent the chief interest of the members. 



The president renews his congratulations to the Society and feels assured 

 that the useful activity of the members will be continued for a long time to come.

Report of the Treasurer 



In turning over the treasury to my successor, Mr. Edward B. Chamber- 

 Iain, the small balance on hand is to be regretted. In explanation, it will be noted 

 that several large expenditures have been made. The long desired reprinting of 

 early numbers, the binding of, and distributing the sets of The Bryologist to 

 the three herbaria, and the publishing of the Hepatic List, these items more than 

 wiped out the balance on hand at the beginning of the year. We may, therefore, 

 really congratulate ourselves that so much wa.i done and no deficit incurred.
