SULLI VANT MOSS SOCIETY NOTES. 
There will be a meeting of our Society in Baltimore, Maryland, in con- 
nection with the American Association for the Advancement of Science 
and its affiliated societies during convocation week, December 23 to January 
2. The exact date of our meeting and the location of room, has as yet not 
been decided. If word is received too late for publication in this number of 
The Bryologist, cards will be sent out later giving all necessary details. 
This is to advise all members of the contemplated meeting and urge each 
one to contribute something in the way of suggestion as to the plan and scope 
of meeting, also to be present with us and read a paper or give a talk, or 
send manuscript for use as seems best, or send material for exhibition. An 
unusually large number have signified intention to be at the meeting and 
we shall confidently anticipate a larger number than participated in the 
Columbia University meeting in 1906. Address all communications to Mrs. 
Smith, 78 Orange St., Brooklyn, N. Y

IMPORTANT TO ALL OUR SUBSCIBERS AND SULLIVANT MOSS 
SOCIETY MEMBERS. 
Before this issue of The Bryologist reaches you, all who are in arrears 
for the current year, as well as a few who owe for more than this year will 
receive a bill. This is to comply with the new ruling of the Post Office to 
the effect that unless subscriptions are either paid for or notice of intention 
to do so is sent the publisher within six month such names must be dropped 
from the regular mailing list and sent, if at all, with stamps affixt at regular 
rates instead of publishers’ rates. 
It has been our custom to send bills only at irregular intervals, say each 
second or third year. In order to relieve us of this burden will you not pay 
your bill now, and as many as can conveniently do so add the amount for 
1909 and receipts will be returned in accordance. We have one account paid 
up to January, 1915, and a number for two and four years in advance. In fact,
