SULLIVANT MOSS SOCIETY NOTES. 
Mrs. Smith makes the following explanation to subscribers of The 
Bryologist and to Members of the Sullivant Moss Society whose recent com- 
munications may have received tardy acknowledgement. On the afternoon 
of Dec. 31st a small party of visiting botanists had been to the Agassiz 
Museum to see the Sullivant herbarium, and had enjoyed the the hospitality 
of Dr. and Mrs.Farlow at afternoon tea, this being the concluding event of 
the Sullivant Moss Society meeting at Boston. Returning from Cambridge, 
Mrs. Smith fell and broke her right arm, incapacitating its use probably for 
some time to come, as the wrist also was injured. 
James A. Graves, of Susquehanna, Pa., died December 28, 1909, at the 
age of eighty-one years, of pneumonia. Of late he had become feeble, but 
to the last he retained the keenest enjoyment in his connection with our 
society and with one or two others of like order. 
The Sullivant Moss Society having been honored by an invitation to send 
a delegate to the ceremony of Dedication of the New Hall of the College of 
Physicians of Philadelphia on December 10, 1909, Mr. William B. Davis was 
appointed. The delegates and specially invited guests, in academic dress 
as required, met in a nearby church and marched two by two to the place of 
dedication. Our delegate had the honor of marching immediately after Mr. 
Andrew Carnegie, who had contributed |ioo, 000 to help build the Hall. This 
invitation is regarded by Mr. Davis as a recognition of the place which our 
Society holds in the list of scientific bodies, “since only the acknowledged 
learned societies had been requested to send a representative.” In the 
evening a banquet was given the delegates at the Bellevue-Stratford Hotel 
Speeches were made by Mr. Carnegie, Dr. S. Wier Mitchell and others.
