Dr. MacDougal spent about six weeks in Arizona and 

 Sonora in February and March, collecting cactuses and other 

 succulent plants of the desert, and his large collections were 

 received here in good order in April, and at once planted in 

 houses numbers 5 and 6 of the public conservatories, where 

 they have since attracted a great deal of attention. His report 

 on this collecting trip is published in the May issue of the 

 Journal. 



Mr. F. S. Earle spent parts of April and May in western 

 Texas and New Mexico, where he obtained a very valuable 

 collection of herbarium specimens representing a large num- 

 ber of species new to science, together with a considerable 

 number of living plants, seeds, and museum specimens. His 

 account of this trip is published in the July number of the 

 Journal. 



Mr. Percy Wilson accompanied Dr. A. W. Evans, of Yale

 taining living plants, seeds, museum and herbarium speci- 

 mens of great value to the collections, with many duplicates 

 available for exchange. His report is printed in the Journal
