After partaking of luncheon, which was served in Craibstone 

 House, a short discussion, opened by Mr France and taken part 

 in by several other members in a very spirited and interesting

The Committee have again to record their thanks to Professor 

 Trail and to the University authorities for the use of the Botany 

 rooms for the meetings of the Branch.
