MEETING OF THE SULLIVANT MOSS CHAPTER. 
A meeting of the Sullivant Moss Chapter will be held in New York, this 
coming December, in connection with the annual meeting of the American 
Association for the Advancement of Science. 
In addition to a programme of papers on subjects of interest to the 
chapter, it is desired to have as complete a representation as is possible of 
the works of the chapter members. To this end all members are urged to 
contribute material for exhibition purposes. Drawings, paintings, collections 
of mosses, lichens or hepatics from various localties, methods of mounting 
specimens, rare or interesting species, anything, in fact, pertaining to the 
chapter work will be very acceptable. It is especially urged that members 
prepare lists of the mosses, lichens and hepatics growing in their respective 
localties, in order to furnish a basis for a more accurate knowledge of the 
distribution of these plants. If in addition to these lists, actual specimens for 
verification can be contributed, the value of the work will be greatly 
increased. 
.-This notice is published early in order that all may have due notice, and 
that all may be watching during the coming summer for useful material for 
the exhibit. The officers of the society will be very glad to answer questions 
relative to the meeting. Further information will be given later in the 
Bryoi.ogist. Edward B. Chamberlain, President.

In sending for the “ Offerings,” judgment should be exercised as to 
whether to send stamps or an addressed envelope. As a general rule, the 
mosses and many of the hepatics would carry as well in a good sized envel- 
ope, but the lichens require a box or straw boards in order not to be broken. 
It has been suggested by one careful member to moisten the lichen slightly 
before mailing. A postal card acknowledging receipt is no more than com- 
mon courtesy.
