Report of the Curator of the Hepatic Department for 1921 
Six hundred and seventy-seven specimens were added to the herbarium dur- 
ing the year. The total number is now six thousand one hundred and seven. 
We are glad to report an increasing number of contributors. Specimens were 
sent by Mr. Severin Rapp, Miss C. C. Haynes, Miss Helen Greenwood, Mr. Geo. 
L. Moxley, Mrs. Anna L. Reid, Dr. P. O. Schallert, Mr. A. H. Brinkman, Mrs. 
H. B. Dudley, Mr. J. Evans, Prof. H. Dupret, Miss Annie Lorenz, Mr. J. Murray, 
Dr. Louis Dutton, Mr. C. C. Potter, Prof. I. lichiba, Mrs. Bayard Taylor, Mr. 
John Bailey, Dr. A. W. Evans, Mr. Roy Latham and Mr. W. E. Brenckle. 
Specimens were also added from the collections of the late Dr. H. S. Jewett and 
Mrs. M. A. Williams. The writer contributed 105 specimens from Wisconsin 
and Minnesota, 
Special mention must be made of the interesting collection of 168 specimens 
from North Carolina by Dr. P.O. Schallert 134 specimens from Portland, Oregon, 
collected by Mr. C. C. Potter: 134 specimens from the A. H. Brinkman collection 
from B. C. and Alberta, and 39 named Japanese specimens from Prof. L lichiba. 
Mrs. Bayard Taylor has begun an hepatic survey in the vicinity of West 
Jefferson, Ohio, a comparatively new field. Prof. H. Dupret continues to send 
his interesting Canadian species. 
The rare additions to the herbairum during the year were the finding of 
Lophozia ohtusa in the collections of Mr. C. C. Potter and Mr. A. H. Brinkman, 
which adds two new stations, Portland, Oregon, and Shushwap Lake, B. C, for 
this rare species. Neesiella rupestris was found by Mr. Geo. L. Moxley at Los. 
Angeles, California, and Diplophyllum gymnosfomophilum was found by Miss 
Anna Lorenz at Hartford, Vermont. Dr. A. W. Evans found the same species 
in a collection of the writer from Black River, Douglas Co., Wisconsin. This 
shows apparently a wide distribution of this rare species. It is hoped that 
Miss Greenwood, Dr. Schallert, and Mr. Potter will publish a list of the species 
in their localities in The Bryologist. 
Mr. Severin Rapp again responded to the appeal made in The Bryologist, 
Vol. XXIV, January, 192 1, page 16, by sending the herbarium the following 
species from Florida; Anthoceros Ravensiii, Lejeunea flondana, Aphanolej^unea 
iicaefolia, Cephaloziella obliqua, Cephaloziella floridae, Meizgeria uncigera, Foss- 
ombronia lamellata. These species, with Neesiella rupestris from Geo. L. Moxley, 
and Pleiiroclada albescens from A. H. Brinkman, reduces the number of desired 
species by nine. 
The Curator has packeted a lot of duplicate specimens for distribution. 
Sets of 25-50 and a few of 100 specimens can be now made up to members who ex- 
press a desire for them to the Curator.
