Eegular Meeting, Wednesday, July 7, 1875. 



This was an adjournment of the meeting held on Mon- 

 day, July 5. President in the chair. 



Mention was made that several members of the Insti- 

 tute and their friends chartered the new, safe, and com- 

 modious steamer "Governor Andrew," for an excursion 

 which took place on Monday, June 14, from Salem har- 

 bor along the eastern coast to the Isles of Shoals, with a 

 view to deep sea dredging and the collection of speci- 

 mens of the marine fauna and flora of that group of Isles. 



The steamer "Governor Andrew" is a new boat, built 

 last year for the Boston and Hingham line, and is finely 

 modelled and furnished, making one of the best excur- 

 sion steamers in the waters of Massachusetts Bay. The 

 weather was pleasant ; the sail along the shore was very 

 enjoyable, and the ftimiliar scenery of the rock-bound 

 and wooded coast, dotted here and there with the resi- 

 dences of the summer visitors, never looked more attrac-
