Mr. Fernow, as chairman of the committee on a discussion of 
what data should accompany herbarium specimens, reported a 
complete disagreement of opinion in the committee, and on motion 
this committee, consisting of Messrs. Fernow, Coville and Beal, was 
continued to report at the next meeting. Owing to the desire 
of many members to take advantage of the excursion to the fish 
hatchery at Mumford, the club adjourned at 2 P.M. to meet in 
1893 at Madison, Wisconsin. The following papers were read 
by title only, either because of absence of their authors or for lack 
of time.
