The chairman exhibited specimens of Clintonia umbellata, 
collected by Mrs. W. H. H. Beebe near Short Hills, N. J. This 
discovery adds a new plant to the New Jersey Flora and to the 
Flora of the 100 mile circle, the nearest hitherto reported station 
for the species being in the Alleghenies of Pennsylvania. Dr. 
Britton also showed two curious hard black seeds, reported as 
Coming from the coast of California, where they are said to be 
Worn as watch-charms. He had been unable to refer these 
satisfactorily, but they closely resemble the figure of Calvaria 
hexangularis in Geertn. Fruct. and Sem. iii. 117, t- CCI. This 
Senus is known only by its seeds. 
Dr. Smith Ely Jelliffe gave the announced paper of wine
