PROCEEDINGS OF THE CLUB 

 Meeting of November 21, i ( J54 



The Meeting of the Torrey Botanical Club was held at The 



New York Botanical ( harden with an attendance of twenty-one. 



Minutes of the meeting of October 17th were read and ap- 

 proved. 



Mr. Darwin Levine, 2755 Morris Avenue, New York, and 

 Miss Matilda Otero, School for Tropical Medicine, San Juan, 

 Puerto Rico were unanimously elected to membership in the 

 club. 



The resignation of Mr. Christofer U. Lunder was accepted 

 with regret. 



It was thought desirable to have the second meeting in 

 December a down-town instead of at the Garden as Dr. H. 

 Hamshaw Thomas of Cambridge, England would be the 

 speaker, and it would be more convenient for university stu- 

 dents and teachers if the meeting were either at Columbia Uni- 

 versity or at the American Museum of Natural History. 



Dr. Merrill suggested that it might be a good idea to arrange 

 with some other clubs in the city for an annual dinner. 



Dr. Norwood C. Thornton of the Boyce Thompson Institute 

 for Plant Research gave an interesting talk on "Effects of Car- 

 bon Dioxide on Plant Tissues." This talk was illustrated by 

 lantern slides.
