On my part I turn over to the Society all back numbers, Ten 

 Year Index, plates and the so-called good-will of the journal, 

 book accounts, etc. There is a steady income from the sale of 

 back numbers ; the file as it stands to date bringing in $12. 50, 

 This includes the Ten Year Index and subscription to volume 

 XIV, 1911, which will certainly be contiuued on some basis. 

 Volume II is out of print and several numbers are becoming low ; 

 fortunately they are the earlier and smaller numbers and detract 

 little from the usefulness of the work as a whole. Some plan 

 may be devised to allow of their reprinting. So much for the 

 few who have this work especially in hand. 



On behalf of the Society members at large and the general 

 subscribers, it is proposed to raise the Society dues to $1.50, and 

 the subscription price to $ 1 . 25 . This is expected to virtually divide 

 the deficit among the members at large who, heretofore, have 

 contributed little else than dues to the work of the Society, and 

 among the general subscribers. 



If you favor the continuation of the Sullivant Moss Society, 

 and The Bryologist conducted as outlined, please write your 

 response — whether in favor of, or suggesting changes — to me at 

 once, so that concensus of opinion may be determined and report 

 made in the January number of The Bryologist. 



Respectfully submitted, 



Annie Morrill Smith.
