MEMORANDUM REGARDING CONDITIONS OF GIFT OF HERBARIUM BY J.F.COLLINS. 1956. 
1. The non-vascular cryptogams are to be sent to the Farlow Herbarium and there sorted 
2. The New England Botanical Club is to have first choice as to New England specimens 
after that the Farlow Herbarium is to receive the first set, and the first dupli- * 
cate set of Rhode Island species is to be sent to Brown University. 
5. The mosses being stored in herbarium cases in the Farlow Herbarium are to be includ¬ 
ed in the general herbarium and are to be treated as part thereof, subject to the 
conditions set forth. 
4. Exsiccati sets when not duplicates of those in the Farlow Herbarium, are to become 
the property of the Farlow Herb., but duplicate sets are to be sold and one half of 
the proceeds are to go to the New England Botanical Club, one half to the Farlow 
Herbarium, the sum realized by the latter institution to be spent on the purchase 
of Bryoplyte exsiccati or specimens. 
Note in regard to specimens; 
There are several series which Prof. Collins plans to incorporate in his herbarium 
in serial order and with his regular numbers. At present there are recognized 
3 series besides the regular numbers; 
Series A. - temporary series for material sent out for determination. 
Series T. - an old series for thallophytes, mostly incorporated in the regular ser¬ 
ies. 
Series X - numbers above 10,000 which Prof.C. has received from others. 
When a number, as in the case with many mosses, is followed by a,b,c,d,etc.,indicates 
a mixed collection from a single habitat. 
Dictated by Prof. Collins to Dr. Linder 
in 1936.
