To the Members of the Sullivant Moss Chapter: 
A general notice concerning the Chapter Meeting next December has already been issued in the 
Bryologist. The success of such a meeting depending largely upon the co-operation of the individual 
members, the following letter is sent out to enlist their aid. 
It is desired that each member who can do so, have upon exhibition those species of some one 
genus, which occur in his or her locality ; accompanied by a paper given brief notes upon the distribution, 
habitat, and variation of these species. Each specimen should have a label giving name, locality (town 
and state), habitat, date when collected, name of collector, and the name of the person determining 
the plant. The paper itself should also contain a list of the specimens exhibited.| Especial emphasis 
is to be placed upon the variations, so as to show the relation existing between the variety or form 
and the especial habitat. 
Will not you prepare such a list for our meeting? Eong lists or papers are not wanted, brevity 
and accuracy being the ideals for each to attain. Neither are uncommon or critical species needed for 
these lists, the common ones are far preferable. Above all, do not think the plan as outlined above, 
excludes the contribution of any other interesting material, everything connected with the work of the 
Chapter is greatly desired. 
In so far as time allows, the papers thus prepared will be read at the meeting, and abstracts 
of all will be given in the report to be published in the Bryologist. Please let me hear from you, 
whether you are able to prepare such a list or not. I shall be very glad to go into the details of the 
plan with any member, and to render any assistance in my power. 
Ctjmbereand Center, Maine.
