viz., ‘* Notes on a Revision of the North American Naiadacee,” 
and “ Observations on the North American Species of Orchidacee 
and their Nomenclature.” At the close of the reading of his 
paper, Dr. Morong spoke of the great desirability of having his 
paper on the Naiadaceze, which was to be published in the 
Memoirs of the Club, well illustrated, and hoped that it might be 
possible to make arrangements to thisend. Dr. Britton remarked 
upon the same subject, and moved that a committee consisting of 
the Treasurer, Secretary and Editor, be appointed to devise ways 
and means for such illustration which it was estimated would re- 
quire about $250 more than could be spared from the funds of 
the Club. The motion was seconded and unanimously carried.

trated by herbarium specimens; several new species were shown. 
Mr. Hogg spoke of a dye used in Japan and made from a 
species of Polygonum. 
The second paper was read by Mrs. Britton, ‘Remarks on 
Some Mosses of Northern New York.” Mrs. Britton stated that 
this was a particularly rich region for Bryophytes. Déicranum 
viride had been discovered in fruit. Zygodon conoideus, sterile, 
whtch had been found fruiting in Virginia during the past spring, 
had also been collected, these being the only two stations known 
for this genus in North America.
