Xov. 7, 1889.— Mr. W. Carruthers, F.R.S. , President, in the chair.

 remarks on the effects of cross-fertilization in regard to colour and 

 alteration of structure ; observations also were made by Mr. Veitch, 

 Prof. Bower, and Capt. Elwes. — Mr. E. M. Holmes exhibited and 

 made remarks upon some new British Marine Algae, describing their 

 origin and affinities. — Mr. W. B. Hemsley then read a paper by

Mr. G. C. Druce is preparing a Flora of Berks, which will 

 include an account of the geology, meteorology, and topography of 

 the county. The distribution of the plants through the neighbouring 

 counties will also be given. The Flora proper will contain all the 

 plants recorded as occurring in Berkshire, and their distribution 

 through the county. He is extremely anxious to obtain the 

 assistance of any botanist acquainted with any fact relating to 

 the Flora of the county, either by reference to printed works, 

 but especially to unprinted records of plant occurrence. It is 

 only by such extraneous help that he can hope to make the 

 Flora of the county fairly complete. His address is 118, High 

 Street, Oxford.
