 Dr. Marshall A. Howe of the New York Botanical Garden and was 

 entitled Plant Life of the Sea. This exceedingly interesting lecture 

 was illustrated by more than a hundred exquisitely colored photo- 

 graphs prepared by the late Cornelius Van Brunt and projected by 

 stereopticon. The officers of the Club were unanimously re-elected 

 and a new executive committee created. As in former years the 

 Club met simultaneously with the Vermont Bird Club and during 

 some of the exercises the two clubs sat in joint session. A very 

 pleasant feature of the meeting was a supper at " The Heights " at 

 which about forty members and guests assembled. It was decided 

 to hold the summer meeting at Lake Dunmore, on the 12th and i3tb 

 of July.
