made. She will be missed at the meetings of the Torrey Club at 
which she read several original papers. She has been connected 
with the BULLETIN as associate editor since 1889 and _ has contri- 
buted thirty-five articles and reviews to its volumes, beginning 
in 1886. She was also an occasional contributor to the Botan- 
ical Gazette and an active member of the Society of American 
Naturalists, whose yearly meetings she frequently attended. She 
was elected a member of the American Association for the Advance- 
ment of Science in 1892, having attended the meeting at Rochester 
of that year and read a paper before the Botanical Section. She 
had also studied for a brief period at Woods Holl, where she had

botanical laboratory without any natural successor, though its 
founders hope that one may be secured who will continue the 
policy which she so ably represented.
