At thk meeting of the Board of Managers held in Philadelphia on 

 December 28, the following officers were elected: President, Professor 

 Charles E. Bessey; Vice-President, Mr. Joseph Crawford ; Secretary, 

 Mrs. N. ly. Britton ; Treasurer, Dr. C. E. Waters. The Executive Com- 

 mittee of last year, consisting of Messrs. Pollard and Waters and Mrs. 

 Britton, was reappointed. A number of plans were considered for the 

 coming year, and the Society will, as heretofore, carry on its work in 

 cooperation with the New York Botanical Garden through the Stokes 

 fund. A course of lectures will be given in the spring in various New 

 England cities by Mr. Morris. The Board appropriated a special sum 

 for the purchase of lantern slides to illustrate these annual lectures, and 

 the Secretary will be glad to hear from persons having suitable slides for 

 sale, those which are colored being preferred. An amount for printing 

 and postage sufficient to mail leaflets to members has also been set aside. 

 Einen posters are to be printed by the Garden for general circulation 

 among owners of estates, conveying warning against plant destruction 

 and forest fires.
