Pallavicinia Flotowiana, P. hibernica, Gymnomitrium variens. Pleuroclada al- 
bescens , Scapania cordifolia, and S. Bartlingii. The collections sent the Society 
herbarium by Mr. Severin Rapp and Mr. S. C. Hood from Florida are equally 
valuable in new and rare species. Much of this material will be fully reported 
next year. Among the species added from this source, new to the herbarium, 
are Frullania Rappii, Cephaloziella Rappii, Crossotolejeunea bermudiana, Lep- 
tolejeunea elliptica, L. hamatata, and Ceretolejeunea integrifolia. 
Species new and rare to New England have been contributed by Miss Annie 
Lorenz, and they make an interesting list: Riccia arvensis, R. sorocarpa, Grim- 
aldia fragrans , Neesiella pilosa, Odontoschisma elongatum, Fossombronia Won- 
dr aczeki, Marsupeila Sullivantii, Nardia Geoscyphus, Lophozia confer tij 'olia, L. 
obtusa, L. Kaurini, L. Schultzii var. laxa, Cephalozia Francisi, C. Sullivantii,. 
and Scapania subalpina. Miss Haynes, besides giving a generous portion of her 
time, has sent many packets. Of special value was a specimen of Sphaeroca pus: 
hians, and a diivsion of the collection of Miss Alice M. Northrup from New- 
foundland. Prof. A. S. Foster, Prof. H. Dupret, Dr. A. F. K. Krout, Mr. Frank 
Dobbin, Prof. Holzinger, and Miss L. E. Hunt have contributed specimens 
during the year. Mr. Geo. M. Pendleton of Sisson, California, added Cepha- 
lozia ajfinis , new to the herbarium from North America. Mr. W. E. Haydock 
gave a generous division of specimens collected at Crawford, N. H. 
Dr. Evans has responded as usual upon request with type or rare material 
for study and comparison. It is of interest that Cephalozia Macounii was- 
added to the herbarium from four localities: British Columbia by A. H. Brink- 
man; Lac. Vieux Dessert, Wisconsin (collected by Cheney) and two specimens, 
from the Duluth-Superior District, contributed by the writer. 
Acknowledgment is made of a fine full set of the species collected by the late 
C. C. Kingman at Mooselauke, N. H. This was received just before his death,, 
by which the society lost an intelligent student, and enthusiastic collector, and 
the writer, a valued friend. His large contributions to the herbarium the pre- 
vious winter while a resident of California, and the weekly correspondence 
which occurred, will be long remembered. The genus Cephaloziella has been, 
enriched by specimens and determinations by Prof. Douin, of Chartres, France. 
Among these are Cephaloziella Rappii, C. Baumgartneri, C. Brinkmanii, C. 
Hampeana, C. Starkii, C. bifida, C. rubella, Evansia dentala, Cephalozia lancin- 
ulata, and C. macrantha, all of these from North America except C. Baumgart- 
neri and Evansia dentata. 
The announcement is made with pleasure that a complete set of the writer’s- 
collections from the Duluth-Superior District has at last been added to the her- 
barium. These specimens, 433 in number, fully represent the 82 species cited 
in the paper “A Preliminary Report of the Hepaticae of the Duluth Superior 
District, States of Minnesota and Wisconsin,” Trans. Wise. Acad. Sci., Arts, 
and Letters, 1912 : 985-1010. In all, one thousand specimens, representing 58 
genera, and 192 species were added which makes 1913 a banner year. 
The total number of specimens in the Society herbarium is now three thou- 
sand seven hundred and ninty-one, representing 104 genera and 500 species.
