We have received an extremely valuable gift from Mr. Thornley, to whom we owe much in the way of advice and sympathy in our Nature Work: --

"DEAR MISS MASON,--I hope you will receive safely, and be pleased to accept, the box of British Mosses which I send you to-day. It contains a collection of 250 species; that is about half the British species. It contains all the commonly occurring ones. They were collected by a friend of mine, who is very particular in selecting his specimens, and labelling and dating them; and I have the utmost confidence in his work. Moreover, he is a friend of Dr. Braithwaite, of Bryological fame. Many of the Mosses are from your district. I will shortly write Miss Barnett about books, and the way in which I think the collection may be profitably used. I hope shortly to be able to follow it up with a collection of British Hepatics, and that would give you a good start with the Cryptogamia.

Yours very sincerely, ALFRED THORNLEY."
