 MEETINGS. 



C56 



The meetings of the Institute are as follows, viz. : 

 Stated Quarterly meetings ; Regular meetings on the 1st and 3d 

 Monday evenings of each month, and Field meetings during the 

 summer mouths at such times and places as may be agreed upon.' 



The first field meeting took place in Danvers on Tuesday, June 

 12, 1849. At that time the interesting localities of the Vaccinium 

 vitis-idea in Danvers, also that of the Andromeda polifolia near Ce- 

 dar pond in Wenham, were visited. These meetings were continued 

 for some two or three years, when they were discontinued in conse- 

 quence of the removal by death of several of those members who 

 were the most interested, among whom may be mentioned THOMAS
