The committee appointed at the Rochester meeting to 
consider and report on the advisabily of forming a national 
botanical society presented a majority report disapproving 
the formation of such an organization at the present time, 
and Professor C. R. Barnes presented a minority report 
recommending its immediate establishment by the selection 
by the Club of a committee of ten who shall select fifteen 
others, these twenty-five to be the charter members of the 
society. The minority report was accepted, and a committee 
of ten selected by ballot. The Committee on Nomenclature 
was authorized to proceed with the publication of the check- 
list, and matters concerning it not determined by the Club 
were referred to the committee with power, and the com- 
mittee increased to nine members by the appointment of 
Professors Edward L. Greene and Wm. Trelease. 
Officers for the next meeting were elected as follows: Presi- 
dent, Professor Douglas H. Campbell; Vice-President, 
Professor Daniel C. Eaton; Secretary and Treasurer, Mr. W. 
T. Swingle. Brooklyn will probably be the place of the 1894 
meeting and San Francisco that for the gathering of 1895.
