Report of the Curator of the Moss Herbarium for 1921 
In making his report for the year 192 1, the Curator of the Moss Herbarium 
wishes to thank all those who have contributed dui-ing this period to the ever- 
increasing number of specimens in the collections of the Sullivant Moss Society. 
Among those who have been actively interested have been: P. G. M. Rhodes, 
P. O. Schallert, Miss Helen E. Greenwood, Mrs. EHzabeth M. Dunham, Mr^. 
Rachel L. Lowe, H. Dupret, F. L. Pickett, J. M. Grant, Miss Daisy Levy, and 
others. 
One of our new members, James Murray^ 2 Balfour Road, Carlisle, Eng- 
land, has sent the Curator a beautiful set of slides illustrating certain species of 
the genus Fissidens, -which particularly interests Mr. Murray, and, should our 
members have noteworthy material in that group, Mr. Murray would no doubt 
be glad to correspond with them. Dr. Schallert is still strenuously engaged in 
searching the Winston-Salem neighborhood in North Carolina for mosses, and 
he has been the sender of several large packages, while Miss Greenwood and Mr. 
Grant have shown their usual care in collecting desirable unmixed material. 
A package from Mr. Rhodes containing a number of excellent specimens col- 
lected by Sir Benjamin Stone in Norway, southern France, Ceylon, and Japan, 
has afforded several species new to the Herbarium and is deserving of special 
thanks. 
However, we still greatly need larger quantities of less common species 
for purposes of exchange. Our supply of the mosses ordinarily found abundantly 
in our region i^ a large one, but for these species the more advanced students 
have little use except in so far as they represent distributional areas. It is our 
hope that members may contribute during the ensuing twelve month more really 
worth-while things, and those in sufficient quantity to allow others to share in 
their collections. We again urge care in collecting unmixed fertile material and, 
in closing, wish, to all, renewed zest in bryological interest and research and, to 
all a Happy New Year!
