All persons interested in botany are invited to join the Club. There are four classes 

 of membership : Annual, at $5.00 a year ; Associate, at $2.00 a year ; Sustaining, at $15.00 

 a year; and Life, at $100.00. The privileges of all except Associate members are to

 have the privilege of attending all meetings and field trips. They also receive the Schedule

 membership should be addressed to the Treasurer. 



TORREYA 



Torreya was established in 1901 as a monthly publication of the Torrey Botanical Club 

 for shorter papers and interesting notes on the local flora range of the Club. It also 

 contains the proceedings of the Club, reports of field trips, and some book reviews and 

 news notes. Volume 43, published last year in two numbers, contained the papers pre- 

 sented at the 75th Anniversary Celebration of the Club in June 1942, and an account of 

 the Activities of the Club during 1943. For the year 1944 Torreya will resume its former 

 function, but will be published in only four numbers. 



The editor invites contributions for future numbers of Torreya. These should be typed 

 with double spacing on one side of standard paper. Illustrations should be mounted on 

 stiff cardboard, with the desired reductions plainly indicated, and so designed as to fill the 

 full width of the page (4-H* inches) and any portion of the height (7% inches). Legends 

 for illustrations should be typed and included with the manuscript (not affixed to the 

 figures) . 



The subscription price of Torreya in the United States and Canada is $1.00 a year, 

 for subscribers elsewhere, 25c extra; single copies, 40c. Of the annual membership dues 

 of the Torrey Botanical Club, $0.50 is for a year's subscription to Torreya. 



Claims for missing numbers should be made within sixty days from the date of mailing. 



Subscriptions and requests for back numbers should be addressed to the Treasurer,
