Report of the Committee on Bibliography of the Madison Botanical 
Congress. — 
To Section G, A. A. A. S.: 
The committee on bibliography appointed by the Madison 
Botanical Congress was directed to report to Section G of the 
American Association for the Advancement of Science. This 
Section, therefore, is asked to receive the following report and 
take such action thereupon as seems wise : 
The committee report that progress has been made during the 
past year in carrying out the suggestions made to the Madison 
Botanical Congress.* The first recommendation thereto made, — 
viz.: “‘ That there should be published a catalogue of papers [re- 
lating to American botany] by authors,” has been undertaken and 
so far as it has gone has been successfully accomplished by the 
codperation of a number of botanists with the editors of the Bul 
LETIN of the Torrey Botanical Club and the Cambridge Botanical 
Supply Co. This index; printed first in the BULLETIN, is reprinted 
upon standard cards by the Cambridge Botanical Supply Co., ie 
that any number of copies can be had and arranged by subjects 
or by journals as desired. Every effort will be made by those 
charged with the preparation of this index and its first publication 
to make it complete, and to have it conform exactly to the Bs 
of citation prepared by this committee. The work of publication 
upon cards, however, is not adequately supported. The commit: 2 
tee sincerely hope that this form of publication will not have sd as J 
given up, and they therefore urge that those interested testify 2 
their interest by sending their subscriptions to the Cambridge Bo- 4 
tanical Supply Co., Cambridge, Mass. > at 
The committee also announce that the BoranicaL GAZETT#s . ' 
connection with the Cambridge Botanical Supply Co., is ready to : 
undertake the publication of the supplementary list of joumnals ya 
ferred to in section z. 6, of the committee’s report f to the 0 c 
gress which appointed it. The publication of these lists of pet ; 
nals upon cards will be begun as soon as subscribers sufficient © |
