R. H. Daily. Mr. S. Rapp has, as usual, sent interesting Florida lichens, like- 
wise Mr. E. C. Wurzlow from Louisiana; the Northwest and North have been 
well represented by Prof. A. S. Foster and Bro. Victorin, as also the East by 
Messrs. L. D. Dutton, Frank Dobbin, R. Latham, G. B. Kaiser, and E. B. 
Chamberlain. Miss Mary F. Miller added a good number of named species, 
also Charles C. Plitt. From Scotland and England Mr. P. G. M. Rhodes and 
Rev. D. Lillie must be mentioned with good donations, while the present curator 
is immodest enough to record himself with European and Mexican species, as 
also native Californian, a number of which are new. The number of specimens 
received for identification is 492; these, with the exception of a number from Mr. 
S. Rapp that await a more critical investigation, have been named. The num- 
ber now mounted in the herbarium is 2817. Attention is called to a fair amount 
of duplicates on hand available to members (for postage) or as exchanges to 
others. Exchanges with foreign Lichenists is desirable. In this connection it 
is begged to remark that in collecting, only complete, well developed, represent- 
ative, and when possible, fruiting specimens, should be selected, since they 
represent not only the Society, but also the collector in exchanges.
