MEETING OF THE SULLIVANT MOSS CHAPTER. 
The meeting of the Sullivant Moss Chapter, already announced in the 
May Bryologist, will take place at the New York Botanical Garden, Bronx 
Park, New York City, on Saturday, Dec. 29th, at 2 p. m. It is not possible 
at this writing to specify the room in which the meeting will be held. 
A most gratifying response has been received to the circular letter of 
June 22d, and a program of much interest is assured, consisting of informal 
papers, discussions, and the exhibition of material. Those members who 
will contribute are requested to send notice to the President before Dec. 
1st in order that an outline program may be sent to the Chapter by the end 
of the first week in the month. If those members who will attend the meet- 
ing, and all who can are urged to do so, will inform the President or the 
Treasurer of their intentions at the earliest date possible, it will be greatly 
appreciated. Edward B. Chamberlain, 
President. 
Parts III and IV of “Common and Conspicuous Lichens of New Eng- 
land,” by Reginald Heber Howe, Jr. and Marion Appleton Howe, have been 
received. Parts I and II were reviewed in the Bryologist for May by Prof. 
Bruce Fink. In it he calls attention to the fact that the half tones are not 
quite all that could be desired and it is a pleasure to notice a great improve- 
ment in them, especially in the last part issued. A. M. S. 
The attention of all field workers is called to the article on Polytrichum 
commune by Prof. J. Franklin Collins in this issue, and especially to the desire 
of the author for material from all sections of the country. 
We welcome two new members this month, Mrs. H. E. Young, Atlin, 
British Columbia, Canada, and Prof. Wm. P. Holt, 1004 Jefferson Avenue, 
Toledo, Ohio. This makes our membership 177.
