REPORT OF THE SECRETARY. 



The report of our President so fully covers the ground of the Chapter 

 work for the past year that only a few more words are needed. It has been 

 thought best to divide the Chapter Herbarium, placing it where it would be 

 the most likely to grow; the Hepatics with Mr. Barbour, 19 genera, are so far 

 represented; the Lichens with Mrs. Harris, 44 species mounted. The 

 mosses with over 250 sheets, representing 80 genera, will pass to the new 

 Secretary, Miss Wheeler. It is urged in every instance when possible to 

 send enough material not only for identification but enough to have a good 

 sized specimen left for the Chapter Herbarium. 



There has been but one death among our membership since writing the 

 last report, namely that of Mr. Thomas A. Williams, Takoma Park, D. C. 

 Only a few weeks before his sudden death he had promised to give us all the 

 aid in his power in presenting the Lichens. He was an acknowledged Lich- 

 enist and not only the Chapter but The Bryologist and all botanists unite 

 in mourning his loss. It may be well in order to avoid confusion that the state- 

 ment be made explicitly that Chapter members are requested to send their 

 dues, now raised to $1.10, to Miss Wheeler, Chatham, N. Y. This covers sub- 

 scription to The Bryologist. Respectfully, Annie Morrill Smith,
