we cannot object, for everything American is new, and long may 
it so remain. But what will he think some day if some feeble-

advocates as “ palzo-Anglic ?” N. Li B. 
Proceedings of the Club. 
TuesDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 10, 1893. 
The President in the chair and twenty-five persons present. 
A communication from Mr. Hartley C. Wolle, of Bethlehem, 
Pa., addressed to the President, was read, presenting to the Club a 
copy of Turner’s Fresh Water Algae of East India, said copy hav- 
ing been forwarded by the author to the father of the writer, the 
‘Rev. Francis Wolle, who however did not live to receive it. 
A communication to the Secretary from Sr. Luis Sodiro, of 
Quito, Ecuador, was read, accepting the honor of a corresponding 
membership in the Club and presenting a copy of his work on the 
Vascular Cryptogams of Ecuador. Dr. Britton spoke of the value — 
of this work. 
The scientific programme of the evening was then taken up, 
and summer experiences were related. 
Dr. C. C. Curtiss reported his experiences during the summer 
at Wood’s Holl, at Gay Head and at Casco Bay, where he col- 
lected many algae. 
Mr. John K. Small stated that he had collected in Georgia, 
where he had been especially interested in the mosses, but had 
made large general collections. He was able to report on exten- 
sion of the range of many species, the rediscovery of a number of 
rarities and the finding of a number of new species. 
Mr. A. A. Heller had interested himself especially in the 
Southern Virginia boundary, the limit of the Manual region. His 
most interesting work had been the addition of quite a number of 
plants to the Manual list, notably that of Cyril/a. He thought 
that in order for collectors to be successful in this region it was 
very necessary that they consult the proper seasons for visiting 
respectively the coast region, the foot hills and the mountains.
