REPORT OF THE CUSTODIAN OF THE HEPATIC DEPARTMENT. 
The interest of the members in the Hepatic Department during the past 
year, while not large has been of unusual moment in regard to character 
rather than quantity of material submitted. Two hundred and sixty-two 
specimens have been added to the Herbarium, making the total number of 
specimens, two thousand, one hundred and sixty-nine. 
A set of forty-two packets, representing fifteen species, has been of 
especial note. This was collected by Mr. C. C. Kingman at Pasadena, Santa 
Catalina Island, and Santa Barbara, California. From this set the follow- 
ing species were added for the first time to the Herbarium : Porella 
BoUi 7 ideri (Aust. ) Pearson, Fosoiiibi-onia lo 7 igiseta Aust. , Frulla 7 iia Cata- 
lifiae Evans, Riccia trichocarpa M. A. Howe, Aster ell a Califdrfiica 
(Hampe) Underwood, Asterella Pabneri (Aust.) Underwood, and Riccia 
glauca L. and Cephaloziella Starkii^o.^^ were added for the first time from 
North America. 
Miss Lorenz kindly sent the Herbarium some of the Alpine species 
collected in Europe and described in the last issued of The Bryologist. 
Among those was one of Pedi 7 iophylbi 77 i i 7 iterruptu 77 i (Nees) Pearsons. 
This has been described by Dr. Evans in his notes in Rhodora for Oct. 1910. 
Earlier in the year Miss Lorenz also added Lophozia loTigifiora (Nees) 
Schiffn. Both of these species are new to the Herbarium. 
Miss Haynes secured by exchange, thirty-four species from Ireland, 
which were collected by the Rev. C. H. Waddell, Saintfield, County Down, 
Ireland. Among these is for us a new Lophozia, L. tiirbmata (Raddi) 
Steph. In a like manner a set of twelve species was secured from the Rev. 
P. G. M. Rhodes, Kidderminster, England, one of which, Cephaloziella 
.aeraria Pearson is new also.
