SULLIVANT MOSS SOCIETY NOTES 
We regret to learn of the death of Dr. J. B. Leiburg, of Leaburg, Oregon, 
on October 28, 1913. The news has just come to hand, though very late. A 
further note will appear in a future number of The Bryologist. 
On the 9th of July, 1914, passed away William W. Calkins, at Berwyn, 
Illinois, born May 29, , of Scottish descent. The deceased was long a 
member of the Sullivant Moss Society. From early youth he manifested interest 
in natural sciences and later contributed important papers to scientific literature 
relating to his favorite studies. A versatile writer, he was a co-worker to a 
“Report on the Natural History of La Salle County of Illinois” his work cover- 
ing geological, zoological, and botanical subjects; he also wrote a report on the 
Lichens of Florida, following an expedition to that state made conjointly with 
Dr. J. A. Eckfeldt, resulting in the discovery of interesting as well as new species 
that were determined by the late Dr. W. Nylanaer. He also published “The 
Calkins’ Military Roster” and “The History of the One-hundred and fourth 
Regiment, Illinois Infantry” in which organization he had served throughout 
the Civil War. Kindred pursuits induced a correspondence of over twenty 
years with the writer, by whom the memory of the deceased is cherished as that 
of a brother botanist and comrade. H. E. Hasse. 
There will be a meeting of the Sullivant Moss Society, in connection with 
the Convocation week of the American Association for the Advancement of 
Science, on December 30th, in the Botanical Hall of the University of Pennsyl- 
vania. Further notice will be sent later to members.
