when plans were laid for raising a fund for the installation of 

 the old collections of the Museum and for the preparation of 

 exhibits of local industries in relation to natural resources. 

 Before the meeting members of the Club inspected the work- 

 ing equipment of the Museum and were initiated into some of 

 the details of its administration. The interest and support of 

 such a body of practical business men augurs well for a success- 

 ful winter's work. 



The annual Thanksgiving Day field trip of Section A of the 

 Natural History Society consisted this year of a visit to the 

 grove of Walter's Pine (Pinus glabra) on James Island. The 

 party was taken by launch through Wappoo Cut and down the 

 Stono River, and a brief out-door meeting was held on landing. 

 The trip was considered unusually interesting.
