Mr. J. R. Simpson was elected a Resident Fellow. 



The President read an obituary notice of William

Mr. A. D. Richardson exhibited specimens of Arabis 

 alhida,ji. pL, with a peculiar variation in the doubling. 



Dr. Malcolm Wilson exhibited injured seedlings of 

 Scots Pine and Douglas Fir where the injury consisted of 

 the crushing of a ring of cortex and bark a few inches 

 above ground level, probably caused by the use of a plant- 

 ing frame. This resulted in a swelling by abnormal growth 

 above the injury and a downward development of callus 

 tissue. Such plants ultimately die.
