Professor Sinott of Barnard gave a very interesting account 

 of his experiences at the International Botanical Congress and 

 particularly emphasized the developments of Zuyder Zee from

 ducing good crops of a variety of plants. He also spoke of the

 the diseased branches of many of the defective elms and found 

 that the Asiatic Elm, Ulmus pumila, is almost immuned to the 

 disease.

 clature section of the International Botanical Congress and

 on any broad principles. 



Dr. Howe told of the Fortieth Anniversary meeting of the 

 Vermont Botanical Club which is one of the very old clubs of 

 this kind. He also told about the excursion which he led to 

 Montauk Point at which time the collecting of Algae was par- 

 ticularly favorable, a great deal of material having been washed 

 ashore during the previous few days. 



Dr. McLean showed a specimen of climbing fern collected 

 from a station discovered about 1860 near Freehold by the Rev. 

 Dr. Lockwood. It was rediscovered about 1900 and not visited 

 again until the past summer. It constitutes one of the most 

 accessible stations for this species.
