SEVENTEENTH ANNUAL WINTER MEETING OF THE | 
VERMONT BOTANICAL CLUB. 
NELLIE F. FLYNN. 
THE seventeenth annual winter meeting of the Vermont Botanical 
Club which was planned to be held in St. Johnsbury the last week in 
January but was postponed on account of the small-pox scare there 
was finally held at Dartmouth College, Hanover, New Hampshire, 
March 29 and 30, in conjunction with the Vermont Bird Club. Some 
thirty members of both Clubs were in attendance and the meeting was 
both enjoyable and instructive. 
A lengthy program of about forty papers, two thirds of which were 
botanical, was successfully carried out, and about fifteen new members 
were elected. A most interesting lecture by Prof. Merritt L. Fernald 
of the Gray Herbarium on “Some Red Letter Days on the Newfound- 
eland Barrens,” illustrated with lantern slides and mounted specimens 
1 Since the plates were printed it has been noticed that the teeth of the leaves of 
A. sanguinea and of the middle leaf of A. humilis have been inadvertently somewhat 
exaggerated in the direction of fineness.
