XXIV.—Summary Report, Botanical Club of Canada, 1907, through 
Dr. A. HB. Mackay: 
The usual number of phenological schedules have been sent in 
from the schools of Nova Scotia, and they have been compiled in form 
for publication. The figures have to be verified, however, which will 
require some days of work. 
A few schedules have been sent in as usual from the different 
provinces of the Dominion, but the Meteorological Department at 
Toronto has also sent in the observations of a much larger staff of 
observers representing a much wider field. These are ready for final 
compilation. Owing to my leaving for Europe, where I may be for 
the next three months, it is impossible to complete this report for the 
printer. 
No lists of local flora have been sent to me this year. They may 
have been sent to Professor Macoun, to whom I intimated they might 
most expeditiously be sent. 
I have distributed between 200 and 300 of the reports of the club 
to the Royal Society, with a circular asking for co-operation in any 
way. I have still to report, however, that many attempt to 
make observations and keep records who have not been able to continue 
at work the whole session, and therefore send in no report. 
I regret very much that the unusually great pressure on the Educa- 
tion Department this year has prevented me from completing my report 
of the Botanical Club in time for this meeting of the Royal Society.
