fruits, of species of Cornus, Viburnum, Crateegus, and 

 Sambucus in their season, added not a little to the dis-

 more distant, may be mentioned 



Campanula glomerata. Gentiana Andrewsii, 



Centaurea nigra. Geum rivale, 



Xyris bulbosa. Sp. of Galium, 



Species of Bellworts and of Sp. of Orchis, 



Solomon's seal. Rims venenata. 



Trillium cernuum, Apios tuberosa, and others.

THE time having been entirely occupied by the speakers already 

 mentioned, there was no opportunity for the botanists to present their 

 collections of rarities, which was much regretted by all. Mr. George 

 D. Phippen has kindly presented the following report of his fore- 

 noon's excursion. 



The botanical party, who dispensed with carriages, probably bore 

 more of the heat and burden of the day than any other of the several 

 extempore organizations, in their three or four mile tramp of mead- 

 ow and woodland, finished off by skirting a portion of the banks of 

 the Merrimac River. Among the forms met with and collected there 

 seemed to be an unusual absence of Ericaceous plants ; no Kalmias, 

 Vacciniums, Andromedas or Pyrolas were brought in, and but a speci-
