It havhig been decided by the Chib inadvisable to hold meet- 

 ings during the warm weather, no card was issued until September. 



On the 7th of September, by the kind invitation of Mr. E. S. 

 Miller, we were to hold a meeting at Floral Park, Long Island. 



But the day was so very stormy that but a single member pre- 

 sented himself at the railway station, and he returned. So far as 

 I am informed the meeting of September 14th at Erastina, Sta- 

 ten Island, was postponed for the same reason. 



On the 2 1 St of September your speaker was to conduct a 

 meeting at Snake Ilillj New Jersey. Business unavoidably de- 

 tahied him, and he has received no report beyond the fact that a 

 good time was enjoyed. 



On Sept. 28th Dr. Britton conducted a meeting at Crugers 

 and Verplanck's Point, w^hen 45 species were collected. Most 

 interesting finds were Solidago sguarosa, Asters undulatus, patens,
