Garden. The speaker showed that the first leaf to appear 
after the cotyledons was pitchered, as were the succeeding 
ones typically. These showed only a few (five to eight) 
marginal attractive glands and fifteen to twenty internal 
digestive glands. Later, on older leaves, the honey glands 
of the lid, and still later the alluring glands of the leaf por- 
tions external to the pitcher appeared. This relation in 
seedlings resembled exactly the relative appearance and dis- 
tribution of glands in passing from the more primitive types 
such as N. ampullaria to the most complex, such as N. san- 
guinea and Khasiana. He then described a collection of 
plants just received from Mr. Lindsay, of Edinburgh, Scot- 
land, including a valuable lot of New Zealand veronicas, and 
hybrid with parent saxifrages.

Marion Mackenzie presented her annual phytophenological 
report. In this she stated that better and more detailed work 
had been done than in any previous year. In all of the sheets 
the early flowering of Symplocarpus, Claytonia and other 
spring flowering species was emphasized, the average time 
acceleration being about eight days. The blooms lasted 
also far into the season, owing to the somewhat cool weather. 
The cold, wet, comparatively sunless summer had caused a 
retarding effect on all plants. A striking feature of autumn 
was the early defoliation of several species of tree, notably 
the Carolina poplar and white or silver maple. 
Mrs. Bartol next gave “A Traveler’s Notes on the Flora 
of Jamaica,” with numerous lantern illustrations. The first 
view and impressions of the coast line of the island, the 
vegetation of the areas around the hotel and the fruits 
brought into the market were discussed. The growth and 
collection of the cacao fruit and the coco-nut were next 
treated of, while the luxuriant masses of air plants, includ- 
ing orchids and tillandsias, encountered in drives through 
the interior, afforded opportunity for collection and subse- 
quent delineation. One of the air plants with large red
