It is with great pleasure that we welcome again to active work, Miss 
Mary F. Miller, who served the Chapter so competently as secretary and 
custodian of the Moss herbarium, in 1904 and 1905. Miss Miller has con- 
sented to take charge of the Lichen Department, and to relieve Mr. Merrill 
of the burden of correspondence, determinations, and care of the herbarium. 
Mr. Merrill however most kindly promises his assistance when specimens 
require special study.

REPORT OF THE LICHEN DEPARTMENT. 
The Custodian of the Lichen Herbarium begs leave to submit a report. 
On Jan. r, 1903, since which time there has been no tabular report of the 
herbarium contents, there were 170 specimens in the collection, comprising 
95 species distributed in 27 genera. That portion of the herbarium in my 
custody now totals 457 speciinens, 191 species and varieties in 45 genera. 
The Lichen collection as an entirety has not as yet been in my care, and the 
figures above given represent only an enumeration of the material actually 
in my hands. Thanks are due Messrs. A. S. Foster, T. A. Bonser, A. J. 
Hill, S. Rapp, C. C. Plitt, R. S. Gray, J. Macoun, Miss Mary F. Miller and 
Miss C. M. Carr, for contributions during the past year. 
Respectfully submitted, 
G. K. Merrill.
