i6 — 
REPORT OF THE LICHEN DEPARTMENT. 
Interest in the lichens is unabated and many of the students have car- 
ried their explorations after specimens to a point beyond that of cursory 
examination. The more than three thousand specimens submitted for iden- 
tification or verification during the past year have committed this depart- 
ment to considerable labor, but the time and effort have been cheerfully 
given; That portion of the Chapter Lichen Herbarium accumulated prior to 
Jan. i, 1803, is in our charge. Accessions to the collection, except for an 
individal contribution of one hundred specimens, have been limited to three 
(3) numbers. It is to be regretted that voluntary gifts to the herbarium are 
not more numerous, but this does not diminish our thanks to those who have 
remembered. Respectfully, 
G. K. Merriel.
