Australia. This last through the kindness of Mrs. Carolyn W. Harris. A 
large number of these specimens have yet to be studied and named, and 
placed in the herbarium. 
There are, at the present date, 1154 specimens in the lichen herbarium, 
representing 57 genera and 400 species and varieties; 283 specimens have 
been added during the year, 43 being new to the herbarium. Prof. Fink has 
kindly assisted me in determining difficult specimens. 
As usual, duplicates have been used for purposes of exchange, and also 
in assisting beginners in becoming acquainted with the various genera and 
species. During the coming year we hope to exchange more extensively 
with foreign members, and for this purpose our most common native lichens 
can be used to advantage, so let no one hesitate to contribute the common 
species, for they are just as useful as the rare ones.

EDITORIAL NOTE— TO MEMBERS OF SULLIVANT MOSS SOCIETY 
AND SUBSCRIBERS TO THE BRYOLOQIST. 
The reorganization of The Bryologist and the Sullivant Moss Society 
as outlined in my recent circular letter is now completed. 
The Bryologist on January i, 1911, becomes the property of the 
Sullivant Moss Society, and its officers constitute the “Advisory Board,” 
and in the future will assume all responsibility for its publication. Dr. A. J. 
Grout has accepted the position of Editor-in-chief, and all manuscripts and 
communications of an editorial nature should go directly to him. He will 
published the journal at New Dorp, and will have charge of the back 
numbers, selling the files, also odd numbers, for the benefit of the Society. 
There will be four “Associate Editors,” representing the four groups treated 
of in The Bryologist, that is, the Acrocarpous Mosses, Pleurocarpous 
Mosses, the Hepatics, and the Lichens, the names being announced in the 
March number. 
The Custodians of the Society Herbaria remain the same as last year, 
and all material for identification should be sent to the respective custodians, 
as also all material for Offerings; in this way each department may vouch 
for the correct identification, and advise as to selection of material, correct 
citations, etc. These specimens are incorporated in the three-fold herbaria, 
and belong to the Society and not to the individual custodian, unless sent in 
duplicate. Hereafter specimens need not be sent to me unless requested. 
As Treasurer of the Society all monies must be sent directly to me. 
Sullivant Moss Society members in the United States should forward $1.50; 
those in Canada and all foreign countries $1.60; these amounts cover the 
subscription to The Bryologist. Those who subscribe for the journal only, 
and are not members of the S. M, Society should send, in this country, $1.25, 
and in Canada and all foreign countries $1.35-. 
I take this occasion to thank the large number who have so promptly
