 year. The Editor's report was accepted. 



Mr. George T. Hastings reported on his activities as Editor 

 of Torreya, stating that six numbers were published with a

Dr. John H. Barnhart spoke for Dr. Marshall Howe as rep- 

 resentative on the Council of the New York Academy of Sci- 

 ences, stating that as Dr. Howe is now elected a member of that 

 council it would be appropriate to have someone else represent 

 the Torrey Botanical Club on the council. 



The committee on Finance, through Dr. R. A. Harper, re- 

 ported that there had been very few receipts from gifts or dona- 

 tions during the year.
