Report of the Custodian of the Hepatic Herbarium 



During the year many valuable specimens have been given the hepatic 

 herbarium by the members. Two hundred and fifty-one specimens have been 

 added, making the total number in the herbarium two thousand eight hundred 

 and forty-seven. A large amount of material still remains to ba determined and 

 placed. Much of this is nearly completed, but not quite available to be included 

 in this report. 



Mr. A. H. Brinkman, of Dowling Lake, Alta., Canada, has given more than 

 a hundred packets (not yet included), of his Rocky Mountain collections. Some 

 of them new, all of them rare, additions to the Society herbarium. Moreover 

 during the past season thio enthusiastic and indefatigable collector has gathered 

 for us a large amount of material from the vicinity of Banff, Hecior, Laggan, 

 Yoho and O'Hara Valleys. This is nearly ready to be placed in the herbarium 

 and will make one of the most notable additicns of Rocky Mountain material 

 that the Society has received. 



A full report of this collection is promised at an early date. 



Miss Annie Lorenz, Mr. C. C. Kingmen, Mr. Geo. B. Kaiser, A. F. K. 

 Krout, Ph.D., Mr. D. Lewi^ Dutton, Mr. Severin Rapp, Prof. J. M. Holzinger, 

 Mr. Frank Dobbin, Mr. Wm. E. Haydock, Mrs. Mary E. Williams, Mr. E. J. 

 Winslow, Rev. H. Dupret, Rev. David Lillie, all have sent duplicates from their 

 collection. 



Dr. H. S. Jewett added nine numbers of Husnot's. HepaticcE Gallics to his 

 gift of many duplicaucs of Frullanice. 



Miss Greenwood contributed one of the largest collections of this year, 

 ■eighty packets from Nova Scotia, Banff, Alta., and Glacier, B. C. 



Miss Haynes continues her gift of American Hepaticae, no's. 100-120. 



Rev. P. G. M. Rhodes, Kidderminster, England, sent the Herbarium twenty- 

 seven species from Swizterland and The British Isles. These with his gift of 

 last year make a fine representation to accompany MacVicar's Hand-Book. 



It is a pleasure to note that the number of contributors is increasing. The 

 quality of the material is also much better, many new and rare species having 

 been added to the Herbarium. 



Geo. Hall Conklin.
