subpinnate. Tufts dark brown or blackish, not glossy. Very distinct in ser- 
rulate branch-leaves and very narrow leaf-cells. Amer. r. Can., Northern 
Labrador: Macoun, 1896.” 
Lescuraea frigida was described by Kindberg from specimens collected 
at Clearwater Lake, northern Labrador, in 1896, (Mac. Cat. VII. p. 273. 1902.) 
but this is the first report from New England. 
It ought to occur among the White Mountains, as well as in Vermont as 
it is not dependent upon limestone, but being sterile, it has probably hitherto 
been overlooked. Hartford, Conn. 
REPORT OF THE SULLIVANT MOSS CHAPTER MEETING. 
The fourth public meeting of the Sullivant Chapter was held at 2 p. m, 
on December 28, 1906, in Schermerhorn Hall of Columbia University, New 
York City, in connection with the American Association for the Advance- 
ment of Science. Owing to a most interesting discussion, under the direc- 
tion of the Botanical Society of America, held in an adjoining room at the 
same hour, the number in attendance varied, many coming to us before the 
hour of the formal opening and others giving a portion of the time. Through 
the kindness of Prof. Underwood, a room was placed at our disposal for the 
day. Mr. Chamberlain and Miss Haynes were present early in the morning to 
arrange the exhibit. The walls were hung with mounted sheets of mosses, 
hepatics and lichens, and with photographs of noted scientists. 
The exhibits were as follows: Mrs. M. L. Stevens showed two volumes 
of mosses collected during the summer of 1906. Miss Alice C. Kendall sent 
water-color sketches, with mouuted specimens of the mosses colored. A simi- 
lar book of water-color sketches was sent by Mrs. Dunham. Mr. Hill, of 
New Westminster, B. C., sent a valuable series of mounted mosses and 
lichens, accompanied by notes. These specimens are to be added to the 
Chapter Herbarium. Mr. Hill intended to present a descriptive paper, but a 
serious accident prevented its completion. Miss Cora Clarke was present and 
presided over a unique exhibit, her own invention. Numerous herbarium 
sheets, each devoted to a single species of moss, were ruled into twelve 
squares marked for the months of the year, and specimens of a moss from a 
given locality, collected during as many different months as possible, were 
mounted in the proper squares. The Monthly Chart thus shows, at a glance, 
the varying stages of the moss and the comparative development of different 
species. The execution of the work was most artistic. Miss Lorenz exhib- 
ited a series of mounted mosses from Willoughby, Vermont. Microscopes 
were furnished and Miss Haynes presided over her exhibit of slides of rare 
hepatics and of original drawings. Mrs. Smith exhibited a series of artist’s 
drawings with the half-tone proofs from each, also plates from original 
specimens and from photographs showing the various methods of illustrating 
The Bryololgist. Mr. Rapp presented a series of specimens collected in 
Florida Prof. Holzinger sent a large number of duplicates from his Musci 
Boreali Americani Exsiccati, to be given away as souvenirs. Last, but by 
no means least in interest, was a long line of photographs of native as well
