collecting Its special flora. It is desired that the data obtained 

 should include records as to abundance, perfection of develop- 

 ment, etc., at the various stations for each species and that such 

 records be continued in succeeding years so that in the case of 

 the fleshy fungi and algae, especially, more reliable information 

 as to their occurrence and distribution than is now available 

 may be accumulated. 



Facilities for domparing, identifying and preserving material 

 will be provided at the New York Botanical Garden, the Brooklyn 

 Botanic Garden, Columbia University, Barnard College, Yale 

 University and Rutgers College. 



The excursions for the study of the flowering plants under Mr. 

 Stetson will also be continued as heretofore and members are 

 asked to enroll themselves for this work as well as for that on 

 the cryptogams. 



You are cordially invited to enter your name under the head 

 of one or more of the committees named and to return the en- 

 closed slip to B. O. Dodge, Secretary of the Club. Notices as 

 to special meetings, field trips, etc., will then be sent to you 

 from time to time.
