Total membership, 57. 



The plan of organization of the Society 

 provides that, whenever it seems desirable, 

 seminars may be formed for the study 

 and discussion of special topics. Such semi- 

 nars are to be associated with the Society 

 and to be conducted mainly on the plan 

 of the original Botanical Seminar. Four 

 such seminars have already been formed, 

 namely: (1) Agronomic Seminar, (2) 

 Physiological and Pathological Seminar, 

 (3) Plant Breeding Seminar, (4) Sys- 

 tematic Botanical Seminar. 



Botanical activity in Washington is 

 rapidly increasing and the present list of 

 members Avill probably be greatly en- 

 larged within the next year. 



It is not probable that the Society will 

 publish proceedings or issue any papers 

 in the near future; but hereafter reports 

 of the meetings will be furnished to Sci- 

 ence whenever the program is of such a 

 nature as to justify a report.
