  that 
  a 
  previous 
  Juglans 
  mandshurica 
  existed 
  and 
  had 
  been 
  named 
  by 
  

   Maxim. 
  So 
  that 
  traces 
  the 
  rodent 
  to 
  its 
  hole. 
  The 
  name 
  Juglans 
  mand- 
  

   shurica 
  by 
  i\Iaxim 
  is 
  the 
  proper 
  name 
  for 
  the 
  worthless 
  butternut-like 
  

   nut 
  from 
  China. 
  De 
  Candolle 
  named 
  the 
  valuable 
  walnut 
  that 
  has 
  been 
  

   sent 
  out 
  by 
  the 
  Yokohama 
  Nursery 
  Company 
  Juglans 
  regia 
  sinensis. 
  

   So 
  both 
  of 
  these 
  nuts 
  have 
  been 
  previously 
  named, 
  and 
  by 
  authority. 
  

  

  Professor 
  Craig: 
  It 
  is 
  a 
  question, 
  then, 
  of 
  priority. 
  

  

  President 
  Morris 
  : 
  Yes, 
  a 
  question 
  of 
  priority 
  ; 
  but 
  really 
  the 
  

   Yokohama 
  Company 
  had 
  no 
  right 
  to 
  make 
  up 
  that 
  name. 
  It 
  was 
  simply 
  

   made 
  up 
  in 
  the 
  office 
  as 
  a 
  matter 
  of 
  trade 
  convenience, 
  and 
  they 
  attached 
  

   to 
  this 
  Juglans 
  regia 
  nut 
  a 
  name 
  that 
  had 
  been 
  applied 
  to 
  an 
  entirely 
  

   different 
  nut, 
  not 
  knowing 
  that 
  this 
  name 
  had 
  been 
  previously 
  applied. 
  

   So 
  there 
  is 
  a 
  Juglans 
  mandshurica 
  and 
  a 
  Juglans 
  regia 
  sinensis, 
  re- 
  

   spectively. 
  

  

  Mr. 
  Littlepage: 
  Is 
  the 
  walnut, 
  Juglans 
  mandshurica, 
  which 
  you 
  

   have 
  been 
  discussing, 
  similar 
  to 
  the 
  ordinary 
  butternut 
  of 
  the 
  Middle 
  

   West, 
  the 
  Indiana 
  white 
  walnut? 
  

  

  President 
  Morris 
  : 
  You 
  can 
  find 
  nuts 
  much 
  alike 
  on 
  first 
  inspection, 
  

   but 
  the 
  mandshurica 
  nut 
  has 
  six 
  ridges 
  in 
  addition 
  to 
  the 
  suture 
  ridges. 
  

   The 
  leaf 
  of 
  Juglans 
  mandshurica 
  is 
  sometimes 
  a 
  yard 
  in 
  length, 
  with 
  

   twenty-seven 
  to 
  thirty-one 
  leaflets, 
  sometimes 
  — 
  an 
  enormous 
  tropical 
  

   leaf. 
  The 
  nut 
  is 
  usually 
  too 
  small 
  to 
  be 
  valuable. 
  

  

  Mr. 
  Littlepage 
  : 
  I 
  have 
  seen 
  the 
  butternut 
  of 
  the 
  Middle 
  AA'^est 
  nearly 
  

   similar, 
  but 
  it 
  grows 
  on 
  the 
  ordinary 
  tree 
  with 
  white 
  bark, 
  and 
  has 
  

   small 
  leaves. 
  

  

  President 
  Morris 
  : 
  The 
  general 
  outline 
  of 
  the 
  nut 
  is 
  about 
  the 
  same 
  

   in 
  both, 
  but 
  the 
  air 
  chambers 
  are 
  very 
  much 
  larger 
  in 
  the 
  mandshurica 
  

   than 
  they 
  are 
  in 
  the 
  butternut 
  and 
  there 
  is 
  a 
  marked 
  difference 
  in 
  the 
  

   flavor. 
  You 
  can 
  distinguish 
  them 
  readily 
  enough. 
  

  

  Mr. 
  Littlepage 
  : 
  The 
  butternut 
  grows 
  wild 
  throughout 
  the 
  Middle 
  

   West, 
  usually 
  along 
  small 
  water 
  courses 
  and 
  alluvial 
  lands. 
  There 
  are 
  

   perhaps 
  one 
  hundred 
  and 
  fifty 
  on 
  a 
  creek 
  corner 
  on 
  one 
  of 
  my 
  farms. 
  

  

  President 
  Morris 
  : 
  They 
  are 
  very 
  plenty 
  here 
  at 
  Ithaca. 
  In 
  fact, 
  

   you 
  will 
  find 
  them 
  in 
  Maine 
  and 
  Nova 
  Scotia. 
  

  

  Mr. 
  Littlepage: 
  I 
  saw 
  them 
  in 
  Michigan. 
  

  

  President 
  Morris 
  : 
  I 
  will 
  state, 
  that 
  from 
  two 
  until 
  four 
  the 
  mem- 
  

   bers 
  will 
  view 
  the 
  collections, 
  and 
  make 
  the 
  tour 
  of 
  the 
  Campus 
  build- 
  

   ings. 
  During 
  that 
  time 
  the 
  report 
  on 
  competition, 
  or 
  at 
  least 
  examina- 
  

   tion 
  of 
  specimens 
  in 
  competition, 
  should 
  be 
  made, 
  and 
  I 
  would 
  like 
  to 
  

   appoint 
  Professor 
  Reed 
  and 
  Mr. 
  Littlepage 
  on 
  that 
  committee, 
  and 
  I 
  

   will 
  serve 
  as 
  ex-officio 
  member 
  of 
  the 
  committee. 
  The 
  other 
  committees 
  

   I 
  can 
  make 
  up 
  a 
  little 
  later. 
  The 
  next 
  order 
  of 
  business 
  will 
  be 
  the 
  

   President's 
  address. 
  Mr. 
  Littlepage, 
  will 
  you 
  take 
  the 
  chair?
