ment and floristics. Good lodgings and intriguing meals ranging 

 from a picnic with "makings" obtained at a four corners store 

 (which had been in business for over 100 years) to a complete 

 Maine shore dinner kept us in trim for the long days collecting and 

 the short evenings (nights) for pressing. 



Finally a day in Acadia National Park with A/[aurice Sullivan, 

 Park Naturalist, brought our tour to a close. Species have not been 

 mentioned in this report because of the vast number that were of 

 interest and the limitations of space. Lists from characteristic 

 habitats and local stations of botanical significance have been pre- 

 viously recorded by others and are available. A possible extension 

 of range in the discovery of Iris setosa at Jonesport by Dr. Jacques 

 Rousseau of the University of Montreal is our only chance of 

 contributing to botanical science. Daily attendance fluctuated from 

 seventeen to fifty-eight. Total participation was seventy-five. A 

 final word of thanks to all who guided us.

 Club's name be granted. Dr. Kolk seconded the motion and the 

 Club so voted.
