" Thirdly, that the committee thus appointed be requested to 

 invite one botanist from the Central States and one botanist resi- 

 dent on the Pacific Coast to serve with them in the selection of 

 American editors and in such preliminary business as may be 

 necessary for the furtherance of the plans proposed by the editors 

 of the Centralblatt.

The report of the committee was accepted and its action ap- 

 proved unanimously in all particulars. The new committee ap- 

 pointed consists of W. G. Farlow, D. T. MacDougal, and W. F- 

 Ganong in place of H. von Schrenk, who resigned after reap- 

 pointment. The action of the committee in selecting editors and 

 arranging details of cooperation will complete the most important 

 step yet made toward proper bibliographical treatment of American 

 botanical literature.
