his paper, « Botanizing in Arizona,” describing many of the little 
known plants of that Territory, and ascribing to some of them 
quite new economic values. Lantern slides from original photo- 
graphs were shown. 
Mr. Cornelius Van Brunt rapidly exhibited a number of col- 
ored lantern slides of plants growing in the city parks, accom- 
Panying them with short descriptions and anecdotes. Most of 
these slides had never been exhibited before. In response to a 
Tequest, he described how Mrs. Van Brunt had colored these slides 
€ntirely by hand, by the use of aniline pigments, the ordinary gel- 
atine plates being used for the photographs.
