The meeting was pronounced the most successful hitherto held 
by the Section of Botany, and this was celebrated by an informal 
dinner held on Thursday evening, August 27th, which was en- 
joyed by forty members, Messrs. Hollick and MacDougal acting 
as toast masters in so felicitous a manner that they were unani- 
mously requested to repeat the experiment at the next meeting. 
On Friday, August 28th, the members of the Section were the 
Suests of the Buffalo Naturalists’ Field Club at Point Abino, On- 
tario, and enjoyed a beautiful day, and the study of a very inter- 
esting flora. 
Officers for the next meeting, to be held at Detroit, Mich., be- 
ginning August 9th, 1896, are Prof. Geo. F. Atkinson, President, 
and Prof. F. C. Newcombe, Secretary.
