112 BOTANICAL GAZETTE. 
EDITORIAL. 
THE MEETING of the A. A. A. S. in New York City next summer will > 
give botanists a privilege that they will much prize. The Botanical Club 
will, in a certain sense, be the guests of the Torrey Botanical Club, and - 
under the guidance of that well-organized body everything of botanical 
interest that is within reach will be laid tributary to the entertainmen 
of the club. The Torrey herbarium, the Meisner collection, and all the 
other riches of the Columbia College collections will be obj:cts of grea ; 
interest. The salt marshes, the sea beaches, the New J ersey collecting 
rounds, all offer attractions and easily accessible fields. The greatest 
attraction, however, should be the presence of botanists from all parts of 
the country. The social pleasures of such a meeting, the stimulus 0 
more and better work which comes from it, are simply incalculable. W 
bespeak the largest attendance of botanists that has yet graced the meet: 
affect the attendance from the west remains to be seen, but it will prob- 
ably seriously interfere with it.

criticised the wording of the title of Professor Scribner’s paper on black |
